Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy with the one point gained to take over Manchester City following their 0-0 draw with Manchester United.

Klopp's Reds claimed the top of the league status again after being held at Old Trafford.
Liverpool had a slightly better first-half, but an injury-struck United side outperformed the Reds in the second period.
But the German manager is choosing to take the positives out of the draw rather than the negatives.
"It's both, obviously. We have a point more and that is good," Klopp said to Liverpool FC's official website.

"I think before the game, the shape United was in before, a lot of people would have expected it is the worst moment to face United.
"When we started the game it was brilliant actually, we started exactly how we wanted to start: it was direct, we played in behind, we wanted to be there, we followed the ball, we pressed high and it was really good. And then the injury crisis happened.
"A lot of interruptions and things like that and it was obvious it cost us the rhythm. I don't say it should happen, but it happened obviously and I cannot explain exactly why.
"It was a completely strange game, playing around without really speed."
