Statements - Liverpool

Jürgen Klopp

"Alisson and Firmino will get game time. We have to use the games now. We will see. We play twice 60 minutes, between the two games there is an hour break, so we can give them 30 minutes to play. Ali maybe a little bit longer, but 30 is probably enough for the first minutes standing again in goal in a competitive game."

Virgil Van Djik

"Obviously there are a lot of things to improve still and to get back to full fitness, but getting out on the pitch gave me a lot of confidence. I'm ready to work, to keep pushing."

We start!
