“We have five games in October that are very important and we will give our best to make it a good month. Manchester United has always had challenges and the one we have this season is still there.”
Liverpool left-back James Milner: “Jurgen (Klopp) is a top manager. Definitely up there with one of the best I’ve worked with.
“His organisation, his passion. The sessions he does are different to anything else I’ve ever experienced.
“It can only be a good thing. You see his enthusiasm when he’s bouncing on the touchline.”
Team news
Luke Shaw should have recovered from illness and groin trouble while Henrikh Mkhitaryan could return from a thigh strain.
But the game will come too soon for Phil Jones.
Adam Lallana is a Liverpool doubt with a groin strain, as is Dejan Lovren, with Nathaniel Clyne’s knee problem meaning he could miss out too.
