Klopp warns title-chasing Liverpool over 'derby fever' in Everton clash
Jurgen Klopp warned his title-chasing Liverpool team that they will have to cope with "derby fever" as he prepares to face Everton for the final time on Wednesday.
Klopp's men are second in the Premier League table, level on 74 points with Arsenal – who host Chelsea on Tuesday – and one clear of defending champions Manchester City.
Liverpool returned to winning ways at the weekend, beating Fulham 3-1 after a draw against Manchester United and a costly defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
"I don't know when my first derby was but I always knew how important it was," said Klopp. "Now I know it and I feel it. My understanding has developed over the years but they are always difficult games, especially there."
