Jurgen Klopp: 'I am no Sir Alex Ferguson'

The Reds boss recently flagged up the disproportionate number of penalties United are winning compared to his own side.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is no Sir Alex Ferguson and has not been playing mind games in the build-up to Sunday's visit of Manchester United.

Following the 1-0 defeat at Southampton 12 days ago, the Reds boss flagged up the disproportionate number of penalties United are winning compared to his own side.

Klopp's comments are still being analysed and interpreted – by the likes of former referee Mark Clattenburg – almost two weeks later but the German rejected suggestions he was trying to win a psychological advantage ahead of their top-of-the-table clash.

Midfielder Naby Keita, however, will not feature having not played since December 19 due to an ongoing muscle problem.

"Naby is not ready for involvement. Not a big thing but it is like when players in the past came back from injuries, because of the amount of games and the situation of the squad they had to play and there was a little injury again," he added.

"Now we have to put on the brakes and let it settle properly.

"At the moment we have alternatives in midfield so we really try to give him all the time he needs to get 100 per cent fit. He is not in contention for Sunday."
