Jurgen Klopp behind-the-scenes reaction to Manchester City losing to PSG after Liverpool win

Jurgen Klopp is expecting a reaction from Manchester City this weekend when Liverpool host Pep Guardiola's side at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Sky Blues suffered a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, on the same night Liverpool cruised to victory in Porto.

City will now be looking to issue an immediate response to this loss when they make the trip to Merseyside this weekend, in what's set to be a thrilling contest.

While the Reds will be high on confidence on the back of their 5-1 win in Portugal, Klopp is fully aware that the disappointing result of the Premier League champions does not hand Liverpool any kind of advantage.

Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman shed light on the reaction of the Liverpool boss in relation to City's result with PSG.

Seaman said: "I saw Jurgen Klopp after the game [Porto], and he said ‘I’ve just seen the result of Man City, so they’ll want to be bouncing right back.’

“Like you say though, the PSG game, I watched that game and I thought City were in control, they had most of the possession and it was just two moments of brilliance," he added.

Guardiola's side ended their long wait for a win at the home of the Reds in the Premier League last season, claiming a surprise 4-1 victory back in February.

The last time the Citizens tasted victory at Anfield prior to this was in May 2003, courtesy of a brace from former Liverpool forward Nicolas Anelka
