Liverpool boss Klopp: We cannot underestimate Crystal Palace

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they cannot underestimate Crystal Palace.

Klopp has warned Liverpool to heed the lessons of Palace's shock win at Manchester City to prevent their own title ambitions from being derailed.

He said, "In counter attacks, at set pieces, it is clear. They are good. That's how a game can happen, but there are other games. We need to see them play football as well. There was not too much in that game. That's why I watched three different types of games, and at least two away games.

"That makes it more important that you don't allow them. If you let Crystal Palace play, they are really good - that's how it is. They play a direct style and defend deep but at Selhurst Park they did exactly the same and we scored at least one goal on a counter attack after a set piece.

"Using situations like this, it's all important. It helps (to have seen they beat City) rather than the other way around."
