“Only the colours and the names of the teams are the same, pretty much. I am completely positive about the game.“Anybody who wants to talk to any of my players about what happened years ago, don’t do it.“We want to write our own history, and if you do that you can build on the positives of the past, ignore the negatives of the past and learn from the mistakes of the past.“We have to do it positively, front-foot, the way we did the whole season.”

When the teams met in April 2014 it was a top-two clash and both were in the title race along with City.This time around Chelsea are fighting just for a top-four place but that does not mean Klopp under-estimates their opponents.“I know we have to work really hard for the result,” he added.“I’m not nervous, I feel the intensity of the competition, but in this moment we see the positives.“We never rest there. We have to make the next step, and it’s not over yet. “The boys are positive, but it’s still so difficult. If you want to go through without difficulties, you have no chance. We try to encourage the players to play with big balls if possible, to try everything.“It’s not possible to play a football game without mistakes. So you don’t have to worry about them, you only have to deal with them.“We will make mistakes on Sunday, but we have to sort it, help each other, and then we can win a football game.“We are completely focused on the situation and hopefully it will work out.”
