We need cool heads and fresh feet against Everton, said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Only cool heads and fresh legs will help Liverpool win the upcoming derby with Everton, announced manager Jurgen Klopp at the pre-match press conference.

The Reds are still in contention for the title, along with Arsenal and Manchester City, but a string of shaky results in recent times have left fans worried. However, a victory against the “caramels” will surely boost the confidence of the team before the remaining four games until the end of the season.

The good news for Klopp is that at the weekend he was able to rest key players such as Mohamed Salah, Dominic Soboslay, Darwin Nunes, Ibrahima Konate and Alexis McAllister in the 3-1 win over Fulham.

“We had to do it. Now we will see how we are, but I hope we have fresh legs against Everton,” said Klopp, who, however, will not be able to rely on Diogo Jota, who was injured against Fulham.

“We have to deal with all the obstacles on the way, whether they are injuries or negative results. We have to be able to get back into the right rhythm quickly. I am happy with the response I saw against Fulham after the elimination by Atalanta,” added the German.

Liverpool and Everton have drawn nine of their last 11 matches at Goodison Park, which is undoubtedly a concern for Klopp.

“The atmosphere at Goodison is always at a very high level. They are always ready for the games with us, so we have to be ready too. It’s a derby and we have to approach it with a cool head. That’s a very important part. from the preparation for such matches,” concluded Klopp.

Liverpool are second in the Premier League after 33 games played. The “Reds” have 74 points, the same as the leader Arsenal. Manchester City is third with 73 points, but also with a game less.
