Klopp wary of West Ham challenge
Liverpool host West Ham at Anfield this afternoon and Jurgen Klopp is prepared for a tough challenge.
In his pre-match press conference earlier this week, he said:
"They changed system and they’re just very mature right now. They’re not safe but it’s more positive for them.
"They’re in a good moment right now. At moments you play against a wall of eight, and they have quick players who are a little bit hidden for the counter.
"We all know that, it’s not easy. The good thing is we've had time to prepare and that’s helpful and that’s why it’s a different game to Porto.
"David (Moyes) is very experienced and knows what he’s doing."
Jurgen Klopp arrives at Anfield prior to today's game
Today's game against Huddersfield is a must-win for West Brom and this is what Baggies boss Alan Pardew has had to say about the encounter:
"This is a massive game against a Huddersfield side that have improved recently.
"They’ve had a couple of good results.
"We need to win for our fans, for ourselves, for our pride and show courage and honour in our performance."
