David Moyes – who has never won at Anfield in 20 attempts – continues the love-in on Sky. “With how well the players have done in Europe, we’re trying to keep everybody ready if we can for this period … we’ve got Nayef Aguerd and Maxwel Cornet ill … Aaron Cresswell was ill but he’s better so he’s back on the bench … it’s an incredibly difficult game … we’ll go about the job tonight and we know we have to try and win it, either in normal time or penalties … we had a great result getting through against Arsenal so we’ll see if we can top it tonight … Jurgen Klopp is a multiple winner who has done incredible stuff with Liverpool over a long period … I thank him for his very kind words and hope I can knock him out of the cup tonight and maybe the next time he might change his words!”
Jurgen Klopp speaks to Sky Sports … and he really likes David Moyes’s West Ham. “West Ham are a physically strong team … David Moyes is doing an incredible job … they are good again, through in Europe, a chance for a semi-final … it’s really impressive … Bowen is probably my favourite player apart from all of my players … it’s just great how he’s developed … we will give it a proper try … I couldn’t respect more what David is doing … on top of that I like him as a person … he is just a nice fellow … winning a final … qualifying for Europe in this league is incredibly difficult … improving the team every year … I really couldn’t respect it more … it’s a proper, proper Premier League game in the League Cup!”
