Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they must be wary facing Billy Gilmour in their Premier League opener at Norwich City.

Gilmour is on-loan at Norwich from Chelsea.

Klopp said, "A good start is important, but we wouldn't stop if we couldn't start well. I'd love to win the first game, but it's disrespectful to talk about that before we even face Norwich. We have to go there, we'll do that this afternoon, have a nice sleep.

"I know how good they, how great a job Daniel Farke is doing there. Norwich have incredible trust in him - a new four-year contract, so they believe in his work. They lost at least one good player but they did sensational business.

"Billy Gilmour is one of Scotland's biggest talents over the last 50 years, bringing him in on loan. They lost Buendia but the replacements are exciting. So we have to be spot on and have a good start."

Klopp also spoke Liverpool's teenage midfielder Harvey Elliott.

"He showed up in an exceptional way. He's only 18 but we don't deal with him like an 18 year-old boy on the pitch. Like all our midfielders he brings a different dimension into the game. His dribbling and passing range are top. He played top in pre-season but so did Kaide Gordon who is only 16.

"If you don't have these spaces in the squad you block these boys so we have to keep these spaces open to show we are a club who gives opportunities to these kind of boys and these talents."
