Jurgen Klopp has sent a message to Liverpool supporters ahead of the Premier League's return.

The Reds will return against Everton at Goodison Park without any supporters in the stands.

But the German says his side will do everything to make the fans feel connected to their success.

"Football is back," said Klopp in a video address to the club's supporters.

"It will be obviously for some reason completely different but you can still make it really, really special.

"A lot of things were already sad in the last few weeks. A lot of things we thought about in the past few weeks, lets go a little bit back a few months when we all got aware of the really special problem we will have from now on, altogether in the same moment - the whole world.

"There was a moment when we all realised that obviously football is not as important as we thought the night before when we played against Atletico.

"I think that's a good lesson to learn to be honest and it was an important lesson, not for me or you especially because we all have our own problems. Health was always above all the other things.

"We had to show responsibility and we showed responsibility. There were times when we didn't know exactly if we will play again this season.

"Now we stand here and in a couple of days the league will start again because we behaved really responsible. We did the things we had to do because we wanted to save our loved ones and all the others as well.

"The league starts again which is great so we can play again and we can go for our massively big target again.

"For this we need you. We always needed you. All the things are only really special because of you.

"We had now a few sessions and internal games and one against Blackburn in our stadium and the biggest difference was before the game 'You'll Never Walk Alone' without you.

"It's still a wonderful song but without you it's not even 5 per cent but that's how we have to take it in the moment. There will be a moment when the whole 300 or 400 million choir can sing it and that's the moment we're all waiting for.

"Until then we still play football and it's still for you. It means we will be in the stadium and you will be at home.

"I can promise you we will feel your support. I will make the boys feel your support. We will use it. You are still the 80-90 per cent of the petrol in our tanks.

"We really will use that and we will need that.

"But the final message: Stay safe and support us from home. We are still with you and You'll Never Walk Alone."
