Jurgen Klopp has discounted the possibility of Liverpool thrashing Manchester United 7-0 again, calling it a “once in a lifetime” performance and a “freak”.

When Erik ten Hag’s team visited Anfield in March, Liverpool won their biggest-ever victory over United in a rivalry that dates back to the nineteenth century.
And United, who have lost 12 games in all competitions and have been knocked out of Europe, return to Anfield on Sunday to face Klopp’s league leaders.
The Liverpool boss, however, is confident that a similar scoreline will not occur, stating, “The 7-0, it was a freak result that happens once in a lifetime.”
“If you take everything into account and just play a football game against Liverpool’s historical rival at Anfield, that must make it a special game, and that’s what I want to see from us, a special game.” Understand the situation completely and offer your all: that is all I require.”
Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, but Klopp is ignoring the league and focusing on the trophy.
“When you’re at the top of the table in early December, people start thinking about different things, but we obviously don’t,” he stated. I’ve been in the business too long for it to mean anything to me; it’s better than being 18th or 20th, but it’s still simply a position for the time being, and we must continue to work really hard.”
