Last time Liverpool lost a game at home was back in January as the Reds have gone 19 matches unbeaten since the start of this year. Anfield has always been a daunting venue for the opposition and it has improved on his decibel level thanks to the new main stand which has increased Anfield's capacity to 54,000.

Klopp had recently asked for a rapturous atmosphere from the fans and he got just that against West Brom as the German said the weekend's atmosphere at Anfield was one of the best during his time in charge. The bespectacled coach has galvanized the fan base like never before and it is showing in the stands as the Reds look to thwart any opponent at home under him.
