Sheffield United come here tonight looking for their first Premier League win this season,
how do you expect them to approach the game?
I think they will come with everything,
like you said they want to grab points,
they are a very physical team, so I expect a lot of difficulties tonight
but I hope we can win.
It's a really heavy schedule for Jürgen Klopp,
in the next 22 days they will play seven matches
so not really in a place where he can take a risk or two on players,
but one that he has taken tonight is bringing Alisson Becker back into the starting XI,
one of three very strong changes.
The skipper comes back in to start, and Diogo Jota gets a deserved start for the Reds also.

♫ You'll never walk...
♫ Alone. ♫
OVER PA SYSTEM: VAR checking possble penalty.
The games come thick and fast, and it's only going to get harder for us.
I think obviously the way the season ended last year, and the pre-season schedule,
it's difficult to get fit quickly,
but I think the lads are finding their feet and we're getting into that stride
that we got into last season.
The more games you play, the fitter you are,
and we want as many games as we can to keep this momentum going.
Thank you, nice one.
All respect for Sheffield United and Chris Wilder,
what they are doing is incredible.
It's so tough to play them,
and so many teams will struggle,
pretty much all the teams they played so far struggled;
yes, most of them won, but that will change, 100 per cent.
A lot of times when you play against five at the back
you have the feeling you lack at least one player, an offensive player.
We tried that tonight for the first time pretty much,
I thought in a lot of moments it worked really well, and in other moments, less so.
That's how it is, so I'm really happy with the result and the performance.
Just good.
