Liverpool manager, Jurgen klopp has warned Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City that his side are ready ahead of both teams clash on January 3, 2019 in the Premier League fixture.
The 51-year-old also said that his side has a different game plan against City.
Klopp stated this following Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Wolves on Friday night in the Premier League encounter.
Two goals from forward, Mohamed Salah and defender, Virgil van Dijk ensured the Reds defeated the hosts in front of their home fans.
Klopp told BBC: “It was clear that the whole game would be difficult.
“Everybody wants to press. We want to be compact but wide as well which makes it difficult. We defended it pretty well. The heavy rain was difficult for both teams tonight. It was a big fight. We knew that we needed to be ready.
“The first goal was brilliant, it was cool. And the second goal – yes, well done! I am completely happy with the result and it is big for us. We wanted to surprise our opponent. It was brilliant – both goals. It was perfect football, especially on a night like tonight when it was difficult to play proper football.
“We have Manchester City waiting and that will be really tough for the boys. We need to have different game plans but the boys showed they are ready for that.”
Klopp’s men will tackle Newcastle United on Boxing Day in their next Premier League fixture.
