Yaya Toure not a fan of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool appointment so close to Man City match
YAYA TOURE insists Liverpool are a dangerous side as their players battle to impress new manager Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp, 48, took over at Anfield during the intentional break last month and has lost just one of his seven games in charge.
The German leads his team to Manchester tomorrow for a crunch 5.30pm clash with Toure's City.
And the Ivorian midfielder said he is wary of "new manager syndrome" after Remi Garde's Aston Villa side held City to a draw a fortnight ago.
“I don’t like it when a new manager comes to a club because all the players want to impress him.
“We had the perfect example of the new manager syndrome against Aston Villa which made it a tougher game – we had a lot of chances to score and if we had taken just one of them it would have been a different situation.
Klopp: "Sturridge fit as he can be"
“When new managers come in, all the players want to give 100 per cent and fight for everything possible.
"Liverpool are a top club, a top side and it will be a massive game on Saturday.”
City have not lost at home to Liverpool in the league since 2008 but did go down 2-1 the last time these sides met, at Anfield last season.
