LIVERPOOL (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has called on his players to show why the club is special in Monday's Merseyside derby at home to Everton in the Premier League.
The Anfield clash arrives with Liverpool languishing in 10th place in the table after a season blighted by poor form and injuries while Everton are battling to avoid relegation.
"This is not a time we wanted to have or a time we are happy to be in," Klopp told reporters on Friday. Klopp gave his team two days off after the weekend loss at Wolves, claiming it was important to change the mood. "It helped. I left in an average mood and came back in a good mood, so I think that was helpful. This week they all look incredibly fresh. That's the truth. Training sessions look very good, super intense."
