Klopp braced for 'different situation' as Liverpool head for Old Trafford

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists last season's humiliation of Manchester United counts for nothing as the two arch-rivals prepare to meet again.

The Reds won 5-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at home last term, but a new season and a new manager in Erik ten Hag presents a different challenge on Monday night.

"When we had the two results last year I knew already it would not help for next year," said Klopp, who confirmed striker Roberto Firmino will be fit to start in the absence of the suspended Darwin Nunez.

"I could not be less interested in the results from last year - different games, different situations.

"It just helps United to be more motivated if possible. This is a completely different game, different situation."
