Liverpool will go into their Premier League clash with Manchester City with a renewed sense of confidence after putting seven past Rangers on Wednesday, manager Jurgen Klopp admits.
Klopp's side are 101th in the Premier League after a stuttering start to the season, with plenty of injuries to key players disrupting their progress. After losing at Arsenal last weekend, Klopp said Liverpool are not in the title race, and they suffered further blows this week with injuries to Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip.
However, they travelled to Rangers in the Champions League on Wednesday with a point to prove, and produced a devastating second half performance to beat the Scots 7-1 — including a record-breaking six-minute hat-trick from substitute Mo Salah.
