Jurgen Klopp fielded questions from reporters as he looked ahead to Liverpool’s clash against Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds return to Anfield following a 3-1 win over Brighton on the south coast on Wednesday night.
It’s been a remarkable season for Klopp’s side, who are yet to lose a Premier League game at Anfield this year.
Having already clinched the league title, they’ll be hoping to seal the record for most Premier League points in a season with a win against Sean Dyche’s side.
But Klopp insisted his players must be “ready” against a side with “brilliant attitude” who will “fight for everything.”
“We face a team with a brilliant attitude. What Sean Dyche is doing there is absolutely exceptional,” Klopp said.
“I know they have some injuries, which is always difficult, especially in a period where you play every three days. On top of that, I’m not 100 per cent aware of it, but I think I heard of some contract issues when players are not available anymore.
“They have a pretty small squad together and [are] playing every three days so I have so much respect for the results they got. It’s really, really good.
“We will face a team with a brilliant attitude, with a really, really good set-up, good defending; there will be a lot of fights for second balls. That’s clear.
“Set-pieces will be a massive thing in this game and they will fight for everything, how Sean Dyche teams always do, since I’m in England, at least.
“I’ve known him for four-and-a-half years now. We need to be ready again.”
The boss also provided an injury update on his squad, confirming Jordan Henderson will be sidelined for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Meanwhile, Dejan Lovren will return to the matchday squad after resuming full training following a muscle injury.
