Jürgen Klopp says Manchester City still the best team in the world
• Liverpool manager returns complement to Pep Guardiola’s side
• ‘City will be ready and we have to make sure we are ready’
Jürgen Klopp has said Manchester City remain the best team in the world despite the recent slump that has left them trailing Liverpool by seven points before Thursday’s game at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola, the City manager, bestowed that mantle on Liverpool following a run of nine consecutive Premier League victories. His Anfield counterpart accepts that may be true on form but insists Liverpool’s unbeaten league campaign faces the biggest test imaginable against the champions.
