Stan Collymore makes claim about Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool

Liverpool blew champions Leicester City away at the weekend with a scintillating display of attacking football in a 4-1 win, while Chelsea battled to a 2-2 draw at Swansea City. The winger caused Arsenal’s defence havoc on the opening day of the season – even bagging himself a debut goal in the process. “I saw 90 minutes of their last game against Swansea and everybody who saw it saw they could’ve won this game!”

“We expect him to play very well, with great attention”.

‘If they want, on specific days they can play a really ugly game where nothing really works, but they always stay cool and in the right moment, (score a) goal, and nobody cares.

Conte has not lost any of his last 30 home league matches as a manager (W28 D2 L0) – his last home defeat in league competition came on January 6th 2013 for Juventus against Sampdoria.

“I’m expecting a very tough match against a strong team”, added Conte.

LONDON, ENGLAND – AUGUST 27: Antonio Conte, Manager of Chelsea reacts during the Premier League match between Chelsea and Burnley at Stamford Bridge on August 27, 2016 in London, England.

Liverpool manager Klopp might want to name the same starting XI that took Leicester apart, although that would involve leaving star Brazilian Philippe Coutinho on the bench.

The 49-year-old was asked for his opinion on Antonio Conte’s passionate touchline antics and intense celebrations, something the former Dortmund boss is quite known for himself.

“It’s exciting – it’s a game you can look forward to”, said Klopp. Obviously he is involved in the game, but that’s not the most important thing. He’s an important player for Chelsea: good passing, good technique. “We played against each other only once, in pre-season, but he’s a fantastic manager and I’ll be glad to see him tomorrow”. “I have confidence in him”.

Chelsea face a side that has already beaten both of last season’s top two in their opening four games, and having faced them in a pre-season game in the United States Conte is wary of the danger that Liverpool possess and rates their manager as one of the best.
