Jurgen Klopp has dismissed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s notion that this is the perfect time for Manchester United to play Liverpool, saying his champions are primed for the challenge.
The Liverpool boss welcomes United to Anfield for a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday and said: ‘I know Ole said that this is the best moment to play Liverpool. Yeah? Let’s see.’
Klopp revealed his squad had held a clear-the-air summit to address a dip in standards. The champions relinquished control of the title race when they lost at Southampton almost a fortnight ago.
