Jurgen Klopp: "Being aggressive is important against Costa"

Sep 17, 2016, 00:39

They were champions two years ago and then had a hard year and they changed their manager.

"There is no doubt he is a good footballer but PSG weren't exactly desperate to keep him, were they?"

After taking seven points from their first four league games this season, Liverpool will be keen to make this 10 by taking victory from Stamford Bridge, in another battle of two world-class managers. Although he did not score at Anfield, Daniel Sturridge looked back to his best and produced a stunning assist to set up Sadio Mane.

The way Chelsea let Swansea back into the match suggested the vulnerability that plagued them last season, when they finished 10th, continues to hover below the surface. However, while the Gunners are hopefully building momentum, the opposite may be true of the Blues.

Victor Moses has urged Chelsea to treat every fixture this season as a "must win" game - starting with Friday's clash against Liverpool.

The Reds visit Stamford Bridge six days after they hit four past Premier League champions Leicester and having done the same on their last visit to London in a scintillating win at Arsenal.

"He is showing also at Liverpool a great capacity to be a great manager". "Obviously he is involved in the game, but that's not the most important thing", Klopp said. He uses his body all the time - that is his quality - and he was almost unstoppable against Swansea.

Stan Collymore says he doesn't believe Liverpool would sack Jurgen Klopp even if the Reds finished outside the top four this season.

Here's all the information you need to know, including TV channel details, team news and odds, as Conte's men face their biggest challenge of the season so far.

Coverage of the match begins on Sky Sports 1 at 6.30pm in the new Friday Night Football show, presented by Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley.

"The Pep Guardiola of Turin-he created their special kind of play", he said of Conte. We all know Cesc is a fantastic player.

While Klopp was quick to pay respect to Chelsea, he feels his Liverpool charges should be full of confidence following last weekends' 4-1 destruction of champions Leicester City. He was very successful there and with the [Italian] national team.

Chelsea, second in the league and unbeaten in the league under Conte, will be without captain John Terry after the defender strained ligaments in his foot against Swansea.
