Liverpool start their Champions League defence in Italy tonight against Napoli and Klopp is eager to right a wrong, the Independent reports, after the Reds lost 1-0 in the group clash in Naples last season.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror says the German has “laughed off” claims that contract talks at Anfield have stalled because he doesn’t like the cold, dark, wet British weather.
The group E clash between Napoli and Liverpool kicks off at 8pm (UK time) and is live on BT Sport 2.
