da 888casino： Jürgen Klopp’s side travel to Old Trafford on Saturday in fine form, having secured qualification to the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday night.
The Reds are currently two points behind their old foe, but would of course leapfrog the Red Devils with a win on Saturday. Lovren insists they are up to the challenge.
“At the moment, when you see the run we’re on – we’ve had fantastic results over the last six or seven games with four or five clean sheets – I think everyone within the squad feels comfortable and full of confidence,” the 28 year-old said on Liverpool’s official website.
“It’s a massive game for us, for the fans, for everyone. We will maybe not have so many chances [as other games], but when we have the chances we need to score them.
“We also need to be patient – we don’t need to score in the first five minutes, of course everyone would like to but we have 90 minutes.”
Liverpool have been criticised in the past for not being able to break down deep lying teams, a tactic Jose Mourinho may well employ on Saturday even at Old Trafford. But Lovren is confident the Reds can do the business.
“We will not go there and just sit back. We are an attacking team and I am really confident we can take something.”
The Croatia international has endured plenty of criticism since joining Liverpool from Southampton, but seems to have formed a real understanding with new signing Virgil Van Dijk, and is expected to partner the Dutchman on Saturday.
“It’s always a big game, so you never know what to expect, but at the moment we feel ready.”
Liverpool’s confidence is sky-high going into the clash at Old Trafford, and a win for either side would have massive implications in the top four race.
