After the Wolves win, Jurgen Klopp was asked if that game was a good way to prepare for the visit of Man United this Sunday.
"In the best possible way, but in the end it’s still a different game and a big challenge, of course," the Liverpool boss replied at a press conference.
"I think Man United is the team in form in the moment, maybe together with Arsenal and City are [also] doing well.
"The teams up there are all in a pretty good moment and I didn’t see yet the line-up [for United’s Emirates FA Cup game with West Ham United] but maybe they changed quite a few?
"That means some of them will be a bit fresher than us, but it’s a home game and it’s Anfield. I thought Anfield proved a point tonight again, it was super, super-enjoyable. It felt like a proper unit, we were all together – I loved that.
"That’s what we need again on Sunday, but of course it will be difficult. Again, if you face United at the weekend whichever result you’ve had before, either way you have to strike back or whatever, but now we have to use it for our general situation. We have to build on the performance and on the result – and we try everything to do exactly that."
United, indeed, managed to rotate the squad a bit for the 3-1 win over West Ham on Wednesday night. Some key players, like Casemiro, Raphael Varane and Marcus Rashford, only came on off the bench to clinch the win.
It will indeed be a serious challenge for Klopp's team, as United are third in the table, 10 points ahead of the Reds.
