Agen SbobeT  ~    Jurgen Klopp is relishing his first Liverpool-Manchester United clash, claiming derbies are "the salt in the soup".

Klopp has likened his first United match to facing Schalke during his successful time with Borussia Dortmund.

"A game against Man United is a bit like Dortmund v Schalke," said the Reds boss. "You can play the whole season how you want but you have to be prepared, at your best for these games.

"We both need the points to stay close to the top of table. But it's Man United. I love derbies. They are the salt in the soup."

Klopp also claimed he respected his former Bayern Munich rival Louis van Gaal, who is coming under fire from fans because of United's boring play.

The German diplomatically refused to get involved in this row, but says being entertaining is important to him.

"First of all I am a football fan and as a fan I like to be entertained," he said. "That's not always possible, but it's one of most important things because then you're interested in it.

Bandar Judi Online SbobeT  ~   "Football is the perfect game in my opinion. You have to celebrate wins together, go through defeats together, but you want to play football people want to talk about.

"Lots of good football, lot of goals, that's what it should be. Football is not the most complicated game in the world.

"I like it because of those moments you can enjoy - a perfect goal, a perfect challenge, a perfect header, the atmosphere in the stadium, and it's our job to do all that as often as possible.

I am not too close with news about United, but I did watch the Newcastle game. Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world. He has won lot of titles, not only in Germany.

"He has a special idea about football and you have to respect him as an opponent."

Klopp reported no fresh injuries and claimed Jordan Henderson, Mamadou Sakho, Jordon Ibe and Kolo Toure had come through the Arsenal game.

He added that Dejan Lovren and Daniel Sturridge were still missing, saying he did not know when the latter would return.
