Liverpool: Manager Jurgen Klopp expects Manchester City will want to 'strike back'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is expecting a Manchester City backlash when the Premier League's top two meet at Anfield on Sunday.

"City will want to strike back for sure," said Klopp.

"But we are at home finally after a few games [playing away] without our crowd, so let's give it a go."

Premier League leaders Liverpool go into Sunday's fixture unbeaten in all competitions this season and looked in sparkling form at the Estadio do Dragao, inflicting another heavy defeat on the Portuguese side.

However, Klopp, while stressing the importance of the result, says that there are still areas for improvement - and momentum alone will not suffice against Pep Guardiola's reigning top flight champions.
