Much like after the loss at Paris Saint-Germain last week, Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the tactics of his opponent. The Reds battled back came back from a 1-0 deficit to win at Burnley 3-1 and stay within two points of Premier League table toppers Manchester City.

However, the win came with a price as defender Joe Gomez was injured so badly that he needed to be stretchered off. More details will be known after the results of Gomez’s scans are made public, but it looks like he’ll be out for awhile. After the match, Klopp had a lot of issues with Burnley’s sliding tackles.

Fabinho, the Liverpool midfielder who just moved over to Liverpool this past summer, has been heavily linked in transfer rumors lately. It seems kind of absurd that he could be out the door already, but numerous outlets have reported that Paris Saint-Germain have an interest in picking him up.

Additionally, Corriere dello Sport claimed that AC Milan are ready to scoop him up. The Daily Express said that Juventus are interested in the the 25-year-old as well. Fabinho refuted all these claims and stated his desire to remain at Anfield.

Liverpool and Burnley haven’t met very much in the Premier League, but when they have it almost always goes in the favor of the Reds. The Merseyside club has won six of the eight meetings, and lost just once. Wednesday night doesn’t look very good for the Clarets either, as they enter this match desperate for points.

Sitting 19th, they are one of the three sides that are currently in a relegation slot, and the other two have already sacked their managers this season. It’s a complete catastrophe for manager Sean Dyche, who led the side to a 7th place finish and a Europa League berth last season. That’s a rather steep drop off!

Coming off a very emotional win in the Merseyside derby, Liverpool FC will look to make sure they don’t suffer a let-down in midweek at Burnley. Sunday’s win was actually too emotional for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who celebrated the win in a manner that was so over-the-top that he charged by the Football Association for misconduct.

Klopp has since apologized for his actions. He’ll take the league’s second place side to the Turf Moor to face the team that’s currently second from the bottom. Naturally, the Reds are heavily favored in this one, but they could be without one of their fab three.

Comedian and Reds supporter John Oliver said of Jurgen Klopp in the summer of 2016: “Liverpool have one of the most entertaining managers in all of sport.”

“Not only is he a sensational tactician, an inspirational figure, he’s also a funny, angry German, and that is the best kind of German there is…He does not understand not doing things at full pace all the time.”

That candid description seems absolutely perfect given what Klopp did today, in celebration of his side’s 1-0 victory at Anfield over Everton today.

The Merseyside derby comes at the perfect time to get Liverpool FC refocused and quickly over the disappointment of the Wednesday night Champions League loss at Paris Saint-Germain. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp hit out at the officiating in that defeat, and the play-acting of Neymar frustrated Liverpool as a whole.

Defender Andrew Robertson spoke up against the Neymar theatrics, and now midfielder James Milner has publicly remarked on this topic as well. “You can’t really be surprised by that,” Milner said. “If you are surprised by that, you are a bit foolish.”

If the North London Derby is this Premier League weekend’s heavyweight title fight, then the Merseyside Derby is the biggest undercard. It’s always a huge deal when the two sides separated by just about one mile get together, but this edition is even bigger than usual with both sides currently inside the top six in the table.

Liverpool come into this match off the heels of a draining Champions League loss at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night. The Reds midfield play in that defeat has come under fire, and Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will have some selection issues in that position group this weekend.

Whether you love, hate or have complicated mixed feelings about Neymar, you’re well aware of his notorious reputation for theatrics. If you’re a fan of Paris Saint-Germain and/or the Brazilian forward you may not agree with what opponents say about his tactics and methods, but you’re well aware of how truly polarizing he is in within the football world.

Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson is the latest to hit out at Neymar and accuse him of simulation. After Liverpool fell 2-1 at PSG yesterday in UEFA Champions League group stage play, Robertson vented his frustrations about the tactics employed by Neymar and his teammates.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp watched his side fall 2-1 at the Parc des Princes tonight to Paris Saint-Germain in UEFA Champions League group stage action. The result, which saw Neymar break the record for UCL goals scored by a Brazilian (passing Kaka), left Liverpool in serious danger of not going through to the UCL knockout round.

Now the Reds, who made it all the way to the championship game last season, will need to beat Napoli at Anfield by the score of 1-0 or by two or more goals in order to go through to the final 16. Klopp was livid after the match, for a host of reasons.

Ahead of the massive UEFA Champions League group stage fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side, when they are at their best, “are really not so nice to play against.” (Kind of like what he said about his side’s record start in the Premier League: “it’s nice.”) Klopp made these remarks yesterday at his pre-UCL press conference, in which he also said his side needs to be “brave” in a “very difficult” game.

Liverpool went all the way to the title game, where they fell to Real Madrid, in this competition last season, but anything less than a win at the Parc des Princes tonight could put their current European campaign in peril. Their opponents are also feeling the pressure to win, as PSG are also not on solid footing when it comes to advancing to the UCL knockout round.

According to multiple outlets in several countries, Liverpool forward Sadio Mane could miss the UEFA Champions League group stage match at Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow night due to illness.

The Senegalese forward, who received a contract extension from the club just last week, is a doubt at this point, but the Evening Standard reports that: “Mane will be given every chance to prove he has recovered sufficiently to be involved.” He did travel with the squad to Paris though, which is a good sign.

Liverpool FC at Paris Saint-Germain is probably the headliner UEFA Champions League group stage clash of the week, and certainly the most anticipated fixture on Wednesday. Entering this hyped up clash of the titans the main focus has been on the fitness of PSG’s superstar duo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Both picked up minor injuries during the international break, which led to many observers thinking they could miss this one. However, now it looks like both will feature, and thus no, Liverpool will not catch a massive break here.
