Ahead of the match, manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his team to make the most of the home advantage, while Leicester manager Cladio Ranieri stated that he thinks the Reds are one of the title favourites.
“Mane, I don’t know how it works and who said it, but it was absolutely nothing”.
This will be Liverpool’s first home game of the season. Outstanding job – I have no idea how someone could do something like this but it is really impressive. “That’s good. They recover a little more”. That’s more power. We should use this’. Despite all three going into the worldwide break injured, Kasper Schmeical, Jeffrey Schlupp, and Nampalys Mendy are all reportedly going to be fit for the match this weekend.
Both teams are on four points in the table, with a win a loss and a draw from their opening three games.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for us”, the manager said. “Now it is about making Mama fit – which he isn’t after this long time with suspension and injury – and we will see what happens”.
“We go there to try to win, we are the champions”.
“Not only with Mama but with all the players I told them all what I thought would be best and now the squad is like it is”. You don’t have to gain my trust.
“We should not lose at Burnley”.

“Leicester are still good, still lively, still aggressive”, Klopp added.
The all-seater stand will be one of the biggest in Europe, housing 20,500 supporters, has been paid for by a loan from FSG, who publicly reiterated their commitment amid interest from China in Liverpool. Their set-pieces are good. “One of their biggest qualities is that they stick to the plan”.
Injuries have dogged Sturridge’s time at Anfield with suggestions previous year that Klopp’s patience was beginning to wear thin over his fitness record with the Liverpool manger saying, less than two months after his appointment on Merseyside, that the player needed to differentiate between serious pain and “only pain”.
Raiola accused Klopp of treating the controversial frontman like “a piece of ****”.
LIVERPOOL – Marko Grujic believes his first taste of competitive action with Liverpool taught him everything he needs to know about life in the Premier League. I didn’t see him yet.
“That is part of the business I am not interested in”.

“He can say what he wants….it’s a free world. Was I upset? Obviously not”.
