City have lost 14 of their 20 meetings at Anfield with their only victory coming in May 2003 - when Walker was just 13 years old. But City head to Liverpool this season unbeaten, 15 points clear at the top and having already defeated Liverpool 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in September. Speaking to Andy Hinchcliffe on Sky Sports Matchzone, Walker, when asked whether Guardiola had made the players aware of their woeful record at Anfield, said: "Yes, yes. The gaffer's made us well aware of that [record].

Klopp, speaking after their 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow in the Champions League on Wednesday night, insisted that his strike force will instill fear into any team left in the competition. Asked if the Reds are a match for any team left in the competition, the German said: “If we perform like this tonight, if we are that clinical, then yes. If we perform like this then it is obviously a threat, 100 per cent.” Philippe Coutinho netted a hat-trick and goals from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah completed the Spartak blitz. Klopp added: “It was an all-round, really brilliant performance.” Liverpool could face Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the klast 16, but the Reds boss insists he is not afraid of anyone. “There are a lot of really strong teams. This year is quite special. Not often you can face Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but Juve and all the others. “Usually I...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side still have “really hard work” in front of them despite continuing their phenomenal goalscoring away from home by hitting five at Brighton. The Reds moved into the top four of the Premier League for the first time since August after making it 15 goals in their past four away games in all competitions with a comfortable victory at the Amex Stadium. “It looks like we are flying,” said Klopp after Liverpool’s fifth win in six league games. “Unfortunately it’s not like that, we have to work really hard. “We need results. In our calmer moments we are a really good team, but we need to carry on. “I’m much more interested in the next game. We need the points – we want to stay as close as possible to the teams in front of us.”

Liverpool forward, Sadio Mane has revealed what really transpired between him and manager, Jürgen Klopp when they appeared to have argued after a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday. Mane came on in the closing stages of the draw before having a discussion with Klopp after the final whistle. The Senegalese played down the incident, saying it was a “friendly” conversation with his manager. Everyone thought klopp needed a goal when Chelsea got the equaliser through willian in the closing minutes of the the,that's when he decided to bring on the Senegalese star,but sadio mane has revealed that really transpired between him and his manager Mane told Sky Sports, “He asked me to play on the right side and one time I tried to ask for the ball in the number nine position. “Mo [Salah] was on my side and the coach was shouting, ‘Sadio come onto the right side’. “After the game I told the coach it was easier if you told Mo to come in because he was close to you. “...

Jurgen Klopp has played down his heated exchange with Sadio Mane at full time of their 1-1 draw with Chelsea Sadio Mane was a surprise omission from the starting XI and was only introduced as an 89th-minute substitution, leaving him little time to restore Liverpool’s lead Mane was seen exchanging angry words with Klopp after the final whistle, but the German insisted that it was only a minor disagreement about positioning. “I was shouting at him because he was in the centre, but no player is happy about that. You come on the pitch in three minutes and you feel like you already have 150 minutes in your legs. I wanted to sort it immediately,” he told the club’s official website. “He was not happy and he said to me Mo wanted to come into the position, but Mo had already 90 minutes in his legs so it would have made more sense that Sadio is closer to the right wing and can start the game from this position. “It’s not a big thing; we could have done it in the dressing room and i...

Sturridge want Liverpool exit Daniel Sturridge is prepared to leave Liverpool in January in order to save his World Cup dream, reports the Mirror. The Reds were initially against a loan deal, after enquiries from Paris Saint-Germain last January, but may be open to such a deal after Jurgen Klopp failed to use the England striker in the 3-0 victory against Southampton this weekend.The player is hopeful that Liverpool will put a realistic price tag on him to attract interest, with a late run of games likely to make Gareth Southgate consider him once again for his final tournament squad. After being overlooked for the Three Lions' friendlies with Germany and Brazil, Sturridge now feels that just eight Premier League appearances, including two goals, will not be enough game time to remain in contention.
