Liverpool vs. Manchester City: Jurgen Klopp Talks Ahead of Capital One Cup Final

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it's "great" his side were drawn against Manchester United in the next stage of the UEFA Europa League prior to Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Manchester City.

The Europa League round-of-16 draw was announced just before Klopp's press conference on Friday, and the Reds chief gave his side's fixture opposite United two thumbs up, per the official Liverpool Twitter account:

Clearly not afraid of the challenge posed by the Red Devils, the German tactician detailed it was United he was hoping to draw, giving him and his men the chance to seal their revenge next month.
