Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League matches (W10 D5), the longest ongoing run in the competition. It's their fifth separate run of 15+ matches without defeat since Jurgen Klopp took charge in October 2015, with only Manchester City having more such runs in that time (7).
What the managers said
Gary O'Neil: “Liverpool have been very impressive this season, I think they’ve made a big improvement from last season with their structure. I’ve watched all of their games from this season, and they look a very good side, so it’ll be a tough game for us, of course.
“There’s been situations we could have done better from, but we’ll keep creating situations. I’m sure this weekend, against a team who are going to be strong, we can create some opportunities to hurt them.” More details
Jurgen Klopp: “It’s still early days and we have to build this team but I am happy with what we are building.
“I’m really happy that everyone else is loving the team too. Let’s go for it, I told the boys. This is not year eight, this is year one of this team. We are not a replica, we are new.” More details
