Liverpool news: Naby Keita lifts lid on Jurgen Klopp's treatment of Reds players
The Reds sit top of the Premier League table, six points clear of champions Man City
Naby Keita has revealed Jurgen Klopp enjoys a light-hearted relationship with his Liverpool players but that there are no favourites.
The Guinean midfielder has endured an injury-hit start to the season but has recently return to action, featuring in the 4-1 victory over Genk.
And Keita believes it is Klopp’s communication that makes him such an excellent manager.
“I don’t think he has any particular favourites or he has picked anyone out for a special mention, he communicates very freely and openly with all the players,” Keita told Sky Sports .
“He likes to laugh and joke around, he has a very light relationship with all the players.”
The Reds remain six points clear of champions Manchester City, but Keita has dismissed suggestions focus is turning towards November 10 and the visit of Pep Guardiola’s side.
“Well, it’s England, all you can say is that all the matches are important,” he added.

“You can’t say this one or that one is going to be the decisive moment because the next one is always the most important game. Only after that can we prepare for Manchester City.”
