Klopp: Crowd is no edge for us

JURGEN KLOPP has said he understands the frustrations of clubs who are not allowed supporters into their stadiums but insists it does not give Liverpool a competitive advantage.

Anfield will be the only Premier League ground permitted to have two thousand spectators inside to watch their game against West Brom today.

Latest Government restrictions mean Liverpool and Everton are the sole Premier League clubs in tier two areas still able to invite a crowd.

Klopp said: ‘For us, the benefit is from an emotional point of view. It is much more enjoyable. I don’t see it as a massive advantage, it’s just nicer. That’s the truth.’
