Jurgen Klopp has sung the praises of his side after Liverpool finished top of their Champions League group with two games to spare. This is despite having their group labelled the "group of death" by many fans when the draw was made in August.

An impressive display from Liverpool saw them top their Champions League Group B with two games to spare. The Reds cruised to a 2-0 win in another exciting encounter at Anfield against Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has said he and Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone are 'emotional' people. It comes after Simeone said in his pre match press conference that he does not like shaking hands at the end of a game with managers.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he is not worried about "defensive woes" ahead of the crucial Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Victory for Liverpool would all but seem them qualify from the group stages.

A third straight defeat for the Blues and another poor performance as Everton were beaten 2-1 away at Wolves. Here's out we rated the Toffees players:

“There is an aura of confidence around the squad at present," says Marine skipper Niall Cummins. "Not that we think we are superior to any opposition, but simply that we trust each other to give 100% for each other.”

Liverpool will host Atletico Madrid on Wednesday as the Spanish giants look to avenge their 3-2 defeat at home to the Reds two weeks ago. Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to keep up their 100% record in the Champions League this season.

The draw for the First Round Proper has taken place with three local teams still in the competition and dreaming of that visit to Wembley. The Mariners will host Dunston after they defeated South Shields on penalties at the Marine Travel Arena.

Everton boss Rafa Benitez is searching for his first win in four games with a difficult away game at an inform Wolves side. Benitez is becoming under more and more scrutiny, especially after his side conceded five goals at Goodison Park to a Watford team only sat 16th in the table.

Marine host an in-form Trafford tomorrow (November 2) and hope to extend their incredible league form. The home side sit third just four points off top of the league table whilst still having two games in hand.
