​Liverpool boss Klopp not thinking about recent history against Porto

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he is not thinking about the previous results the Reds have netted against FC Porto.

The Premier League leaders are set to face off against the Portuguese giants in the Champions League group stages on Tuesday.

The previous two times the Reds have gone to Porto, they have score four and five goals respectively.

"It's not an advantage at all that we won the last two games because the opponent will not want the same thing to happen again so it makes it not an easier job for us," Klopp told reporters.

"But we don't think about the last two games we think about this game, they have different opportunities to set up their line-up and system and we have to prepare for that.

"The last time we came here we didn't think about the previous game when we won 5-1 because it makes no sense. We all know most of the games can go either way, yes we were good, are good but they are a top side, no doubt about that.

"They qualify year in, year out for the Champions League and are always first or second in the Portuguese league and that is what we are preparing for, not a team from the past."
