Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp was full of praises for Manchester United.
It's no surprise that his words came right after the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday.
The Red Devils are set to take on Liverpool at Old Trafford in two days' time. And Klopp has already begun his mind games, claiming beating Man United will be tough at home.
Quoted by Liverpool media, Klopp said: "The next one is the big one, like they all are.
"It's a tough one, good opponents. But we are ready and we want to be in that fight, so let's see what we can make of it."
When asked about lessons learnt from losing to Man United in the FA Cup, Klopp added: "That was too much for us that day, we couldn't control it anymore and made mistakes we didn't make before at all. And United turned the game around.
"United is a top side playing at home, we all know that. But we cannot just tell, 'Let's do what we did from minute 15 to, I don't know, 70-something.'
"Football is not that easy. We have to find a way to cause United problems and they will try exactly the same.
"On that level, with this opponent, in this stadium, we better play a really good football game, to be honest, if we want something there."
Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table; 22 points ahead of Man United. They are in top form and will be relishing the chance for another big win come the weekend.
