Summary

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been speaking with the media ahead of the visit to Old Trafford. Liverpool play the re-arranged fixture away to Manchester United amid the backdrop of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side facing three league fixtures in five days. That led to a heavily changed team on Tuesday against Leicester City, who won 2-1 to leave Liverpool seven points off the pace in the bid to secure Champions League qualification. Klopp also gave the latest team news update and confirmed Virgil van Dijk will miss Euro 2020, while England will remain hopeful over the possibility of Jordan Henderson being available for Gareth Southgate.
