Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool's Champions League thrashing of Rangers has "changed the mood" at the club ahead of Sunday's Premier League encounter against Manchester City.
After falling a goal behind at Ibrox, through Scott Arfield, Liverpool roared back to demolish their Scottish hosts 7-1, Mohamed Salah's record-breaking six-minute hat-trick from the bench adding to a double from Roberto Firmino and a Darwin Nunez goal, before Harvey Elliot sealed the rout late on.
It was a timely performance from Liverpool, who are struggling in the Premier League. The Reds sit 10th in the table having won just two of their opening eight games, and welcome a Manchester City side in superb form to Anfield on Sunday. "It changed the mood, definitely," Klopp said after Liverpool's win. "It is completely different, but we all know who we are welcoming [to Anfield] on Sunday and this will be a different game, we know that.
It is better to go into a game with the feeling we’ve got tonight than any other." Salah's return to goalscoring from will be a significant boost for Klopp and Liverpool ahead of Sunday's match.
