Jürgen Klopp Believes Three Successive Fixtures at Anfield Will Lift Liverpool’s Mood

Jürgen Klopp is delighted that Liverpool have three consecutive games at Anfield on the horizon amid a remarkably congested fixture list.

​Napoli are the only team to beat Klopp’s side this season, winning the reverse group fixture 2-0 at the Stadio San Paolo.
