Jürgen Klopp saw his players make significant progress in their pre-season preparations in Evian - and the boss believes Liverpool are ready for the challenge of facing Manchester City at Wembley.
The FA Community Shield is at stake when the Reds meet Pep Guardiola’s side on Sunday, with Klopp’s squad having travelled directly to London from their training camp in the south of France.
Liverpool’s stay on the banks of Lake Geneva also included a 3-1 win over Lyon in their seventh and final pre-season friendly and, while acknowledging City’s qualities and the difficulties brought about by the first competitive game of a season, Klopp feels his team have benefitted from their period in Evian.
