What the managers are saying

Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool): I would be really an idiot – a few people think I am but not that much – if I would talk about any goal difference before that game.This is a really strange situation for Fulham, I can really imagine how they feel. Their football is good, a lot of things are really good, they caused City a lot of problems (in a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat).You will never score a goal against a team like Fulham with the quality Fulham have only because you go to win the game with the wrong attitude and think about scoring, scoring, scoring. This game is a big challenge for all of us.Slavisa Jokanovic (Fulham): Liverpool are coming off a defeat and they are hurt, but we are more than triple hurt than they are. We must put in triple effort and I expect my people are going to fight to make our supporters proud.Slavisa Jokanovic is fighting to save his job3

Liverpool are a really dangerous team with important offensive weapons, we must show more ambition and be brave. If you are scared and play like kids then it’s not easy.
