Liverpool manager Klopp: Chelsea still have our respect after Man Utd loss

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool doesn't have any less respect for Chelsea after their heavy loss on Sunday.

Frank Lampard's side head into the European Super Cup final against Liverpool on Wednesday on the back of a 4-0 defeat by Manchester United.

But Klopp believes the result was not reflective of the Blues' performance.

"I didn't know everybody expected us to win! No problem what people think around us," he said.

"We respect Chelsea a lot. If you saw the game against United and if you only saw the result you would have no idea how the game was. They played a good game.

"They are a really interesting team, with a good plan. Frank did an outstanding job last year [at Derby], changed the football there. Now he is at Chelsea - his club - everything is fresh.

"It is the first title they can win together. They will be 100% ready and we have to make sure we are ready as well be.

"Everything that doesn't help you in the game we have to ignore and that's what we do, actually."
