Before the meeting of these teams in the League Cup, Jurgen Klopp said that he does not care about the leadership of the Manchester teams in the Premier League. Indeed, why should the Germans care if the "reds" seem to be in this season to solve the maximum of the task of getting into the Europa League?.
Liverpool can bribe his mood, the energy of fans, Cintinho's tricks and Sadio Mane's unconventional game, but what's the point, if the team's defense fires steadily? Someone from the great said: "The attack wins matches, the defense wins the title". With Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan in the center of defense (as well as their shifters), it's not necessary to dream of the championship "red".

The owners of the King Power Stadium confirmed their status as uncomfortable for the "red" opponent and in the week of the League Cup match, knocking out Liverpool 2-0.
The good news for Jurgen Klopp is the return from, which played for the "reds" for the first time in almost a year. So far, neither Daniel Sturridge nor Roberto Firmino is impressive on the spot of the center forward - maybe the ex-Burnley player will be able to close this gap?.
