Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren insists there isn't any lingering rift with Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku ahead of Saturday's clash.

He accused Lukaku of deliberately stamping on him in the reverse fixture.

“Definitely Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He showed many times. I think it is quite challenging. But if they don't they have the ball…"
