Liverpool are currently joint top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp before the match
Quoted by the Liverpool Echo, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised Jurgen Klopp for bringing enthusiasm back to Liverpool.
The German boss took charge at Anfield last year, replacing Brendan Rodgers at the club.
He has been a huge success at the club since then, leading them to two cup finals last season and top of the Premier League table in the first nine games of this campaign.

There is fresh optimism at Anfield, with many Reds fans believing the former Borussia Dortmund boss is the man to lead them to their first Premier League title.
And Ferguson has praised him for bringing that enthusiasm back to the club.
“He has done a really good job and revived Liverpool’s enthusiasm,” the Liverpool Echo quotes him saying.
“You can now well and truly sense that you have to count them in this year.”
“You can see Klopp’s dedication on the sidelines, I’m convinced his work in training is similar. He’s a strong personality. That’s absolutely vital at a big club.”

Whether Klopp can go on to deliver the title to Liverpool remains to be seen, with this year likely to be one of the most competitive title races in a number of years.
They have certainly made a strong start, with 20 points from their first nine games seeing them top alongside Arsenal and Manchester City.
They are also the joint highest goalscorers in the division, another indication that they will be contenders this year.
For now, it would be wise to focus on a weekly basis, though, starting with this weekend’s clash with Crystal Palace.
