Chelsea boss Antonio Conte pays tribute to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp ahead of Friday night's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that he is looking forward to going head to head with "fantastic" Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in Friday night's Premier League clash.

Chelsea will look to bounce back from a 2-2 draw with Swansea City last weekend when they welcome a Liverpool side that recorded a 4-1 win over champions Leicester City last time out.

Conte claims that he usually has "great difficulty describing other managers", but has paid tribute to the qualities of Klopp ahead of the meeting between the two coaches.

"I have great difficulty describing other managers but Jurgen is one of the best managers in the world. I don't know him too much, I have only faced him once before in a pre-season match but he is a fantastic manager and I will be glad to see him tomorrow," Conte told reporters.

Conte also revealed at his pre-match press conference that deadline-day signing David Luiz would make his second debut for the club in the Premier League clash.
