Liverpool manager Klopp: Players are very excited for Everton clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his players are excited about the Premier League return.

The Reds are 22 points clear on top of the table with a game in hand ahead of Sunday's clash with Everton.

Asked by the club's website if he could feel the excitement amongst the players, Klopp said: "Yes, you can feel it. I feel the intensity everywhere, pretty much.

"From the first whistle yesterday [Wednesday] it started, so it was really good to see that we are back, that the players can go again, that some of the issues are still there.

"There was a lot of excitement yesterday around the games; it was pretty much all involved, I would say, with strange decisions, bad injuries, everything was involved.

"We are ready to go, but we have to be ready to face problems because there will be problems. It is like it always was, it's not new.

"In a football game, you have a plan for it and in the game you have to force it through, or you have to adapt to another one or whatever. It will be exciting."
