Jurgen Klopp makes his much-anticipated return to Liverpool this weekend – but the German might not be totally happy. The German is set to be at Anfield on Sunday as the Reds lift the Premier League<\/a> trophy following their final game of the season against Crystal Palace<\/a>.<\/p>\n And while it will certainly be a happy occasion for Klopp, who is expected to play a part in his celebrations after seeing his own disrupted by Covid, he might be a little bit uncomfortable at the prospect of his former side taking on Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n Klopp had his fair share of issues with the recently crowned FA Cup<\/a> winners during his time on Merseyside, a theme that stretches all the way back to his debut season. Following his arrival at Anfield in October 2015, Klopp enjoyed an excellent start to life as Liverpool<\/a> boss.<\/p>\n Klopp lost just one of his opening 11 games as manager – that solitary defeat coming against Crystal Palace at Anfield. And that was a result that clearly wrangled with him.<\/p>\n Speaking in a press conference, he said: \u201cSometimes I would really like to change my personality but I can\u2019t forget this f****** loss against Crystal Palace. If we had won this, I would say my first ten games were OK.”<\/p>\n READ MORE: Four ways Liverpool persuaded Florian Wirtz to join that have ultimately convinced him<\/a>READ MORE: Florian Wirtz to Liverpool transfer: Bayern Munich release statement on move<\/a><\/p>\n Palace were also at the heart of Klopp\u2019s frustrations during his final season. Following a 1-0 defeat to the Eagles last term, he publicly slammed his players.<\/a><\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe first half we were open like \u2018how can that happen?\u2019 Curtis [Jones] was the only one really chasing, really getting out and from time to time broke their rhythm. Beside that they [Palace] could just play through. They [Liverpool] were horrible to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n Having been out of the dugout for nearly a year now, Klopp appears to be in far better spirits. And he\u2019s certainly looking forward to celebrating with his former side.<\/p>\n What XI should Arne Slot name vs Crystal Palace? Share your thoughts in the comments below<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking in a video to supporters on the club\u2019s Twitter<\/a> account, he said: \u201cHello. So now I\u2019m back, back in Liverpool. Back here in the wonderful cathedral for the Liverpool Foundation. Finally. Took me a year to find a way back. But, now I\u2019m here. What a weekend ahead. Wow.<\/p>\n \u201cI heard the city will be buzzing. I\u2019m pretty sure it will be and I see it from a different perspective. From a very good perspective. From your perspective. I told you on my last day from now on, I will be one of you.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, okay, maybe standing in a black suit is maybe not the best example but at the weekend, I\u2019ll try to be in as much as you let me. I\u2019ll try to be part of it as much as you let me. So congratulations for last season.<\/p>\n \u201cFantastic, fantastic, fantastic. I enjoyed it so much. Congratulations to the team. Congratulations to Arne especially. What a guy and what a coach and let\u2019s have the best weekend of our lives so far because there are loads of great weekends will follow with this wonderful team and this great club.
