Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said his squad must be brave but also "cheeky in moments" when the English Premier League leader hosts the defending champion at Anfield on Sunday. Liverpool is atop the league " though five teams are just one point behind after six rounds " despite a low-key offseason compared to the spending sprees of rivals such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. The Merseyside club`s big buy was a reported USD 50 million on defender Ibrahima Konate from German club Leipzig.
Manchester City broke the British transfer fee record to sign midfielder Jack Grealish, paying Aston Villa USD 139 million. Romelu Lukaku set Chelsea back USD 135 million in August. Manchester United dropped USD 100 million to sign Jadon Sancho, and invested heavily in Raphael Varane, before bringing back Cristiano Ronaldo. Konate, a French center back, has played only one Premier League game so far, due to the return of Virgil van Dijk and Joël Matip from knee injuries. "We are in good shape, that`s for sure," Klopp said on Friday at a news conference.
