Jürgen Klopp underscored the need for Liverpool to produce their highest level of performance when they host Manchester United on Sunday.
The champions take on the current Premier League leaders this weekend, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United in top spot after an 11-game unbeaten run in the division.
But, at his pre-match press conference, Klopp insisted the situation in the table has no influence on the Reds’ approach to a game they are already determined to win enough.
“Winning a football game and winning against United is enough itself, so it’s not necessary that there’s a special add-on,” said the boss.
