Everton are 'a really good team' - Klopp

Jurgen Klopp recognises the dangers posed by Everton and says his record of only one defeat in 17 Merseyside derbies will have no bearing on Saturday's result.

"It makes no sense to compare other derbies with this one - different team, different manager," he said. "Everton are in a good moment. They have got good results in the past three or four weeks and before that they had the performances.

"They are having shots on goal even without a lot of possession. When Burnley were in their best moments they were super difficult to play against and you can see similar things with Everton.

"They definitely deserve respect and are a really good team."

While keen to not underestimate the opponents, Klopp made sure to emphasise the strengths at his disposal.

"They have strong players in a lot of areas, but we have pretty good players as well," he said. "We should not forget that.

"We want to make sure we bring that on to the pitch. We will analyse later, they will get all the information they need and then we need to make sure we are ourselves."
