Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expects a tight contest against Manchester City this weekend.
Klopp is experienced enough not to expect his free-scoring side to continue their goal glut against Manchester City.
Their 5-1 Champions League win over Porto was the sixth-successive match the team had scored three or more goals, only the third time in the club's history the feat has been achieved.
They have scored 20 times in 17 days and 26 goals in their first nine fixtures to equal a record (for a top-flight campaign) set in 1922 and replicated only one other time in the 2016-2017 season.
When told his side had scored 20 goals this month, the Reds boss said: “Unfortunately, it didn't feel like that, but thank you for telling me. We conceded as well, some or a few.
“We play against Man City, I don't think now it makes too much sense to think too much about how many goals we can score against them.
“We need a complex and complete performance against them to have a chance only and that's it.
“But I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to playing at home again after a while.
“We have to work hard, we had to work hard in all the games we had. But now we have two days more (than the three they had between Brentford and Porto) to the City game, which will be helpful, and then we will be fresh again and then give it a go."
