Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"Liverpool had a long trip to Russia on Thursday - we need to put them under pressure on Sunday.

"We've come up against everyone who is in form - Liverpool, Manchester United, Leicester. We're in that spell of facing teams with their tails up.

"There's a high press from Liverpool under Klopp. We have to be aware of the threat and try to capitalise on what they're not good at."

Mile Jedinak

"It's always been a good game. Both of the results were the same score [last season], 3-1 on each occasion. They've got a new manager, a new philosophy. The players that have been there a while will be adapting to his style, but we're expecting a very, very difficult game.

"He's a guy with vast experience in Germany. Very charismatic - and I've heard from a colleague of mine that the boys absolutely adored him at Dortmund.

"When you hear that from a teammate of yours, who has worked with him close up, you know full well that it will translate into a positive outcome for Liverpool Football Club. He's got a great track record and they will be fired up for the game on Sunday."

James McArthur

“Our manager has spoken about when he came into the club and about how everyone was buzzing with energy.

"If you look at Liverpool’s performances right now, they have got that. He [Klopp] is obviously a top coach and I think he is really enjoyable to watch. He looks like a really good character.

“We were not concerned [with the run of defeats]. When you start losing games it is important that you bounce back and that was a bounce-back performance. If we keep performing like that, we will have no problem at all.”
