Liverpool's departing assistant manager Pep Lijnders wants to play against them very soon.

Lijnders is joining Red Bull Salzburg as their head coach this summer ahead of next season.

Now he wants them to be drawn against Liverpool in next season's Champions League.

Speaking to The Redmen TV, Lijnders said: "I told him (Trent Alexander-Arnold) that I really hope that Salzburg go into the Champions League, and they put us together and we play.

I told him, 'You can play the passes you want but from the ten passes you play, seven will be offside because my [defensive] line will be high, will be organized.' But he said to me, 'Yeah, but the three I play, two goals!'

"And he's f******' right! I see it already happened the b*****d!"
