Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about Aston Villa under manager Unai Emery.
Jurgen Klopp has said on BBC Sport that Liverpool are going to find it tough to win against Aston Villa next weekend.
Klopp believes that Villa are very strong under Emery at the moment.
The Liverpool boss made the comments about the Villans after his side’s win against Newcastle United.
The Merseyside club came from a goal down to get the better of Newcastle at St. James’ Park in the Premier League on Sunday.

Liverpool will lock horns with Villa at Anfield in the Premier League next Sunday.
The Villans have picked up six points from three matches in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool are fourth with seven points from three games.
Klopp said: “Next week it is, Aston Villa, they are strong like crazy.”
Liverpool have not been particularly convincing so far this season, and the Reds could get beaten by Aston Villa even at Anfield.
Villa have improved a lot under former Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery over the past several months.
And they have bounced back strongly after the defeat to Newcastle United on the opening day of the Premier League season.
Villa have since won against Everton, Hibernian and Burnley and should be able to beat Hibs again this week before taking on Liverpool next weekend.
Although Liverpool have a better team, Villa are a threat that cannot be taken lightly.
