Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool will play Antonio Conte's Chelsea this Friday.

“Games against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are a special thing and always will be in the Premier League. They are a good side. I saw the 90 minutes versus Swansea and they could have won that game. They are the champions of two years ago. Last season was not a Chelsea season but now they are back on track so we must be ready for a real challenge. They attack well and defend strong, but we are quite confident we can do something there.

“Conte is a great manager, a successful manager, the Pep Guardiola of Juventus if you want, in that he created their successful style and he was also successful with the Italian national team. But I don’t play against Antonio Conte, which is good for me because he was a great player. I know about our respect for Chelsea and I’m pretty sure it is the same for them. They saw us play. It’s a game we’re looking forward to. Let’s go there and try everything.”
