Jurgen Klopp has responded to Pep Guardiola's controversial comments where the Man City boss claimed "everyone in the country supports Liverpool".
The Spaniard was speaking to beIN Sports after his side's 5-0 victory over Newcastle United had seen them leapfrog the Reds at the top of the table and bounce back from their Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid when he made the comments, saying: "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone. Of course because Liverpool has an incredible history in European competition.
"Not in the Premier League, because they have won one in 30 years, but it is not a problem at all. Liverpool are alongside (Manchester) United as the most important team in terms of titles, legacy, history, dramas for many, many things. But we have since the last 11 or 12 years been there. I know sometimes we are uncomfortable, but I don't care if the people want Liverpool to win more than us. It is not an issue."
