Jurgen Klopp fires Leeds United warning ahead of Premier League opener

Jurgen Klopp is anticipating a tough contest against Leeds United this weekend

The Liverpool manager has told his team players to be ready because newly promoted Leeds United will pose a stern test on Saturday.

Liverpool will kickoff the defence of their Premier League crown against Leeds at Anfield and Klopp is wary of the threat  posed by Marcelo Bielsa’s Championship winners because of their high-pressing style.


"We have to make sure we get ready for the first game against Leeds because that will be a really tough one," Klopp said.

"Leeds have a specific style of play, man-marking over the whole pitch, and that makes it proper intense.

"We have to be ready for that, but we have a few days. Hopefully all the other boys now stay healthy in the international games, then they come back and we have three days to work together on that."
