Liverpool aim to give top four ‘hell’

Manager Jurgen Klopp is confident Liverpool can bridge the gap to the Premier League’s big-spenders and promised to give their top-four rivals “hell” this season.

This evening’s visit of champions Leicester, who won the title on a budget considerably smaller than some of the so-called bigger clubs, will also mark the first use of the new Main Stand at Anfield which has increased capacity to 54,000.

While that has helped reduce the deficit with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City — who all had bigger net spends in the summer transfer window — off the pitch, Klopp admits what really matters is what happens on the field of play.
