Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he admires David Moyes.

The Reds go to Moyes' West Ham in today's early kickoff.'

Klopp said: "David is one of the best colleagues. We don't have time really to spend together but we spoke actually over the years a lot before games or whatever. I like him a lot, respect him a lot. I think he is doing an incredible job, to be honest.

"I like the team they have, offensively really talented, good transfers. [Jarrod] Bowen, I've said it a couple of times, he's one of my favourite players, [I] like a lot the way he developed since he came from Hull. [Mohammed] Kudus, super-talented, [Lucas] Paqueta, Michail Antonio, top striker. And when Bowen plays up there then they find another solution, these kind of things. [James] Ward-Prowse, super-smart signing for West Ham, I have to say. And then all the other guys settled around.

"I think I heard once in a press conference of David when he said, 'What do you want us to achieve?' There are six teams in the league that have to be in this moment in time above West Ham – not all of them are but actually I would say they have to. That means seventh is pretty much the best you can achieve, and they did that and better now for a few years. I really think he is doing a ridiculously good job there, to be honest."
