Klopp expects Palace backlash
Jurgen Klopp expects Crystal Palace to turn in a committed display when they take on his Liverpool side this weekend.
The German believes the Eagles' opening day 3-0 defeat at home to newly-promoted Huddersfield Town makes them a dangerous opponent, desperate to get their first victory on the board.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss admitted he was far from pleased with his own side's 3-3 draw away to Watford and thinks both sides will have plenty to prove on Saturday.
“The only thing we know is it’s a tough game,” he said.
“Probably both teams were not overly happy [with their result last weekend].
“We were not really disappointed about our first game but it was how a first game can be [Liverpool conceded a contentious late equaliser to draw 3-3].
“There are things to improve and it’s always like this, but even then we could’ve won which I think everybody knows.
“For Crystal Palace it was a little bit different.
“They want to strike back I’m sure but again it’s Anfield and we have to show this.
“I’m really looking forward to Anfield as it was a long time ago that we played there.”
Stoke City host Arsenal in the Saturday evening game. You can watch it live on BT Sport, kick-off at 5.30pm.
