''Thunderstorm' Man City's derby defeat won't help Liverpool' - Klopp

The Reds take a 3-0 lead to the Etihad Stadium in their Champions League quarter-final, but their manager is taking nothing for granted

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does not believe Manchester City's defeat to Manchester United will have any bearing on his side's chances of progression in the Champions League, hailing Pep Guardiola's team as capable of playing like a "thunderstorm".

Klopp takes his team to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday looking to defend a 3-0 lead from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

City's loss at Anfield was followed up by the failue to secure the Premier League title against rivals United, with Guardiola's team throwing away a 2-0 half-time lead to eventually go down 3-2.
