Jurgen Klopp names the two Chelsea players who are now worth £60m thanks to Frank Lampard

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided some glowing praise on Chelsea and their star players ahead of the clash between the two sides on Sunday afternoon (4:30pm kick-off).

The Reds have won their first five games of the 2019/20 Premier League season but are looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Napoli in the Champions League.

Chelsea are also recovering from a 1-0 defeat at home to Valencia in the same competition and have had a much more modest start to the league campaign.

Much less is expected of the Blues this season thanks to a transfer ban which has hamstrung new boss Frank Lampard but Klopp insists there is plenty of talent still at the former England international's disposal.

In particular, Klopp has picked out the talent of up and coming stars such as Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Mason Mount prior to the fixture.

"It's a really exciting team. It reminds of my team at Borussia Dortmund years back when they were really young. People always talk about how young they are but they only play at that age because they're good," Klopp told the press ahead of the fixture, per Sky Sports.

"Tammy Abraham is now a £60m player, Mason Mount is for sure a £60m player, if not more, Callum Hudson-Odoi was that already.

"They have Jorginho who is not that young but is new in the league and (N'Golo) Kante looks like he could play for another 20 years."
