League leaders Manchester City and second-placed Manchester United are the only teams to have scored more goals than fifth-placed Liverpool this campaign, with the Merseyside club having netted 34 times in 17 games. They scored 15 goals in their previous three games in all competitions, including a 7-0 thrashing of Spartak Moscow in the Champions League. Howe also praised his Liverpool counterpart's character and noted that Klopp acted admirably when Bournemouth notched their comeback win last season. "I can only go from personal experience and from the game here last year... he acted with real class and showed real personal qualities. I'm full of admiration for him as a man and how he coaches his team" Howe added.
