10 factors that had helped Klopp get Liverpool to this point.
Now obviously people can hop onto the website to see all 10 but were there a couple of other key moments you wanted to pick out?
Yeah, there feels to be an incredible sort of efficiency about this Liverpool team now as well, where in the early days of Klopp it was...
bombing forward you score we score you know that that sort of open exciting you know edge of your seat stuff which perhaps is difficult to sustain over the full 38 games but but this more so yeah they just dominate games now don't they they dominate possession and and they still have those brilliant players who can do the damage when they need to.
to feel success yeah that's exactly what he said to me last week when I went and interviewed him for the website and he said you know when you've lost the biggest finals in world football you know that really adds something to your mentality you know you don't want to go there again but you can also learn a lot from that experience and take it forward okay earlier in the show we heard from James Cooper about how Man United are shaping up for this one now we can speak to Sky Sports News reporter Vinnie O'Connor to get the Liverpool perspective Vinnie how are you doing
This clearly remains a huge game for Man United.
Do you sense a similar level of excitement around the Liverpool camp this week?
Yeah, certainly sounds like they've got a point to prove against their big rivals.
But Vinny, last week against Tottenham we saw a Liverpool team perhaps not quite at their best, struggling to break down that deep defence that Jose Mourinho set up.
Why weren't they quite at their top level and do we expect to see them back on top form this weekend?
Yeah, the stats are just incredible, aren't they Vinny?
Incredible.
They also got some good news in midweek with Fabinho and Matip back in full training.
They were back in full training on Wednesday, weren't they?
So do we expect to see those players playing on Sunday?
Could they even be in the starting 11?
So finally, after quite a few weeks of being quite limited in his team selection, Klopp's got some options where he can perhaps rotate some players and look at different options in his starting line-up.
Yeah, it's a daunting challenge for any team coming up against them.
But that's the challenge that Man Utd face this weekend.
Vinny, thanks very much for your time, mate.
