Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: We will not take Sunderland lightly

LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp has said his players will not underestimate struggling Sunderland at Anfield on Saturday.

Sunderland are 19th in the Premier League but have won their last two matches after failing to secure a single league victory before that.

And Klopp warned the home fans that they should not expect an easy afternoon, saying: "Sunderland is a real challenge.

"It's like the points are already [won] -- and we couldn't be further away from having the points already. We will not underestimate them, 100 percent not.

"If one person in the stadium would underestimate them, it would be the first mistake we could make.
