It’s a Premier League showdown for the ages. The main course in a special serving of Super Sunday football.
Liverpool vs Manchester City has assumed blockbuster status in the English top-flight, but the first encounter between Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk adds another mouth-watering dimension to an already captivating contest.
Klopp and Haaland share an obvious bond having excelled at Borussia Dortmund before moving to the Premier League, and the similarities don’t end there. While Klopp’s transformation of Liverpool may not have been as instant as Haaland’s start to life in Manchester, both have been seismic.
“I’m not surprised [by Haaland’s start to life in the Premier League],” Klopp exclusively told Sky Sports.
“It was not the missing link for Manchester City, but it was a position where City could improve, which was not good news for all of us. It’s difficult for them to improve but that was the one position where they could, and they did.”
