Jurgen Klopp Gives Detailed Explanation of How Liverpool Will Stop Manchester City Star Erling Haaland

• Jurgen Klopp has released an explanation of how Liverpool will stop Premier League's top goal scorer Erling Haaland when they play Manchester City on Sunday
• Liverpool welcome City on the back of a 7-1 win over Rangers in the Champions League
• The Red's form in the league is shaky and free-scoring Haaland will put them to test at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are another team wary of Erling Haaland's threat when they meet Manchester City on Sunday in an eagerly awaited Premier League showdown.

Haaland has laid waste to the league this season so far, with 15 league goals after just nine matches. Liverpool will need to be at their best to stop the Norwegian, who has only been stopped by Bournemouth.

This is probably the wrong time for the Reds to face Haaland, given their indifferent start to the league season. Two wins from eight matches leave them 10th in the table, 13 points behind City.

With injuries mounting, fatigue and loss of form, Klopp's team desperately needs a big win in the league, despite thrashing Rangers 7-1 in the Champions League, according to the BBC.

Klopp explains how to stop Haaland

Therefore, Klopp believes he has a plan to stop the scoring machine at Anfield on Sunday. They conceded three at home last time out against a porous Brighton side with a new manager.

Klopp said claimed the superstar is the best striker in the world and they have a way to stop him but admits it will be difficult, according to Sportbible.

“He is probably the best striker in the world so we have to make sure he doesn't get many balls. That's what we will try. Against City, if you close Haaland down with too many players you open up gaps for all the other world-class players. It doesn't make life easier.”

If the Reds lose, they will be 16 points behind Pep Guardiola's side, putting their title challenge to bed.

Klopp fires back at criticism

Sports Brief earlier reported on Klopp hitting out at Liverpool great Dietmar Hamann, who suggested the German's time at Anfield is coming to an end.

Klopp has now offered a cheeky response to Hamann's claim after he was asked if he is staring at an uncertain future with Liverpool.

The German tactician appeared to avoid direct jibes at the former Reds player and instead sarcastically mocked Hamann.
