Managers' quotes
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool:
"What Sean Dyche is doing there is absolutely exceptional. They have a pretty small squad together and [are] playing every three days so I have so much respect for the results they got. It’s really, really good.
"We will face a team with a brilliant attitude, with a really, really good set-up, good defending; there will be a lot of fights for second balls. That’s clear. Set-pieces will be a massive thing in this game and they will fight for everything, how Sean Dyche teams always do, since I’m in England, at least."

Sean Dyche, Burnley:
"They [Liverpool] look hungry to me. They look like they want to achieve other markers in the season. I think it is obviously more so when there's a full house there, but I'm saying it's still not an easy task, whether it's a full house there or not.
"I mean, Man City had that a real edge to them when we played them and a real sharpness to them in their game. I can't presuppose anything other than Liverpool will be ready to play."
