Liverpool defender Matip: Teams should fear Anfield

Liverpool defender Joel Matip insists teams should fear coming to Anfield.

The Reds made it six wins from six in the Premier League with Saturday's 3-0 defeat of Southampton.

"I think it should always be a fear to come to Anfield as an opposing team," Matip told BT Sport .

"But we are working hard to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the opponent and we are on a good way. I think nobody enjoys to play here."

Matip returned from injury against Saints and managed to get himself on the scoresheet. He added: "After this long time, after this injury, it feels great to start again and to play. It was a nice feeling to be on the field 90 minutes," he continued.

"Sure, it was quite a long time with the injury but now I'm fit and in a good way. I still need some time but (I'm) looking forward to the next game.

"I was not too lucky with scoring goals during my time at Liverpool but I hope that maybe this season I can score a few more goals.

"It always helps the team and helps me get self-confidence for the game."
