Jurgen Klopp sends Tottenham warning after Liverpool's defeat to Manchester United

Jurgen Klopp is confident that his Liverpool side will learn lessons from their 3-2 defeat against Manchester United, ahead of facing Tottenham in midweek.

Liverpool's poor recent run of results continued as they were knocked out of the FA Cup at the fourth round stage by rivals Manchester United today, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men winning 3-2 at Old Trafford to knock the Reds out of the competition.

It was a third defeat in their last five games in all competitions for Liverpool, with Klopp's side yet to score in the Premier League this year.

The reigning champions have slipped to fourth in the Premier League as a result, six points behind United at the halfway stage of the season.

But Klopp insists there were positives to take from the defeat at Old Trafford, after Liverpool took the lead against the Red Devils, with Mo Salah netting twice for the Reds in the loss.

And the Liverpool boss has said that he feels his side can draw on the experience of facing United and the threats that they have, ahead of a clash with Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night in the league.

"There were a lot of positives in the game. The start was really positive, fully in the game," he told beIN Sports after the game at Old Trafford.

"Then we lost some balls in the wrong moment which leaves counter-attacks [open] for Man United. They didn't score with the first one but scored with the second or third situation.

"In that moment you saw when you don't score for a while and you are so desperate to change that... We tried in these moments too hard tonight.

"It was a good test tonight for our next opponent, we play Tottenham and they, obviously, are not too bad in counter-attacking as well," he said.

"So yeah, we should do better, but I know that the boys will do it better."
