London: For the first time since he arrived at Liverpool Jurgen Klopp is in the midst of a crisis to the extent that a win today at home to Premier League leaders Chelsea is obligatory. However victory over Antonio Conte’s side would reduce the gap between them to seven points.

“We spoke about confidence a few months ago and I said it’s a little flower,” said Klopp. “If something bounces on it, then it’s away. Obviously, that happened kind of, but it’s not that we play without confidence. I can see a lot of moments when we really still believe in our skills and all that stuff. So we don’t have to make it too big, but it’s not that difficult. It is a home game against the leader of the league and we need everyone for the game,” Klopp added.
