Derby heats up, Klopp challenges Sean Dyche again ahead of Everton clash

Liverpool are going through weeks in which the results are not going their way and have accumulated three games without a win in the Premier League, with a draw and a defeat, and the elimination in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but Jürgen Klopp is betting on the upturn in nothing more and nothing less than Monday's derby against Everton at Anfield.

The manager gave a pre-match press conference and explained what he expects from his opponents: "A very compact team, very good on the counter-attack, and set-pieces will be very dangerous for us, and certainly a very important issue. That's the team, you could see in the last game, it was good, a really good game."

"They had a lot of the game in their moments. Of course Arsenal dominated, that's for sure, but in the end Everton had very good chances before they scored and the goal came from set-pieces - that's how they scored in the end, but they could have scored at other times as well," he said.

Klopp and Dyche fell out in 2021

The German manager also made a clear allusion to what Liverpool will show against Everton, sending a message to manager Sean Dyche, with whom he had a tough clash in 2021 when the other manager was at Burnley: "Dyche's teams are compact, counter-attacking and dangerous at set-pieces. We could see it in their last game, it was really good. Arsenal dominated, but Everton had some really good chances before their goal. We prepared for the team we saw against Arsenal."
