Liverpool may be a shoo-in for the title , but they are not about to start on an era of all-conquering dominance .
That is the message from Reds boss Jurgen Klopp , who insisted the landscape in English football has changed completely , from the days when Sunday ’ s opponents Manchester United reigned supreme in the Premier League .

`` To be honest , I do n't think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level of dominance ever again , ” Klopp explained .
`` It is now more likely that the other clubs will compete for different things because of the financial power of a lot of teams .
“ This kind of up and down changes of the squad ( we see now ) means a dominance like Liverpool and United had before is unlikely.
” Ferguson won an incredible 13 league titles with United , and an unmatched 28 major trophies .
Klopp has just one Champions League triumph with the Reds so far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Premier League to his haul , with a young side he believes can only get better .
With the money available to his rivals though , sides like United , Manchester City and Chelsea can spend big in the summer to close the gap that has opened up this season .

“ We have made a few good decisions and that is why we have got better and our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why we are coming up , ” he added .
“ But I say a team like Leicester has proper power now too with the typical top six and it makes it even more difficult .

David Moyes will come up against former club Everton on Saturday after holding talks over a return to Goodison Park
David Moyes is determined to justify his decision to choose West Ham over Everton .
Carlo Ancelotti has the job Moyes rejected in December in order to succeed Manuel Pellegrini at the London Stadium.
Both clubs had chased the Scot but while the Toffees had cash to spend and were higher up the table, Moyes is determined to finish the job in London after keeping the Hammers up two seasons ago - only to be released at the end of his contract.
“I wouldn’t deny that I spoke to Everton,” he confessed. “But I also wouldn’t deny that I knew that West Ham had suggested that there might be an opening.
“When it came up I was thrilled to take the West Ham job - I really was. The owners had been big enough to say ‘come back’ and I admired them very much a lot because sometimes it’s a hard thing to do.

The pressing issue is to steer the club away from relegation danger and Moyes admits the Hammers need a big second half of the season to keep star talents such as Declan Rice.
“He’s shown real talent and I think in many ways he’s doing an awful lot for the team,” said Moyes
“It’s up to us to show we can add to that. I want more Declan Rices in truth. I don’t want to lose him, I want to add more of him to the club.”
The contest is Moyes’ fourth match back in charge at West Ham and they are aiming for a home win to celebrate ten years of being run by owners David Sullivan and David Sullivan.

“Nowadays if you have a good year and a bad year there’s a good chance you lose your job in the bad year. You don’t get a chance to fulfil the potential. You need people to be strong enough to say, ‘I can see where we’re going’.”

Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes played in what may be his final game for Sporting Lisbon on Friday night, as the Primeira Liga side were beaten 2-0 by rivals Benfica
Bruno Fernandes is 'angry' Manchester United's offer to sign him was rejected by Sporting Lisbon, according to reports.
The Red Devils have been in hot pursuit of the midfielder all transfer window, and were hoping to complete a deal for him last week.
Sporting allegedly dug their heels in to ensure Fernandes would be available to play in Friday night's derby defeat by Benfica.
It was then assumed the transfer would take place, as multiple reports claim Fernandes has agreed personal terms with Manchester United.
But a transfer is yet to materialise, and a new report claims Fernandes has become 'angry'.

According to Duncan Castles, who provided an update on the deal on The Transfer Window podcast, negotiations have hit a wall this week with the two clubs failing to agree on a fee.
Manchester United reportedly want to spend no more than £42.5million up front, with add-ons that could see the deal rise as high as £68million.
These bonuses will be triggered should the midfielder finish in the top three for the Ballon d'Or or United win the Premier League or Champions League with Fernandes in the team.
But Sporting are believed to want a minimum £55.3million up front, and aren't happy that the various add-ons are largely unrealistic.

Sporting president Frederico Varandas is reported to have explained the current situation with Manchester United to Fernandes.
He informed the 25-year-old that the club will not be accepting an offer that doesn't meet their valuation.
Fernandes is said to have responded angrily to the phone call, reminding the club president that he stayed loyal in the summer and should now be allowed to leave.

Donald Cerrone has hinted he has no plans to take his fight with Conor McGregor to the canvas.
The 50-fight veteran is expected to struggle against the southpaw McGregor as long as their clash on Saturday remains standing.
All but two of McGregor's victories in the UFC have come by knockout - but his two defeats have come by submission.
And pundits had predicted Cerrone would look to wrestle his way to victory.
But he said: “You’d be stupid to think this man doesn’t have a wresting defence or a grappling defence, So for me to just walk in and think I can just submit him, we’ve got to go out there and fight.
“I’m going to go in there and give it all we got. I am going five rounds with this dude, and I cannot wait until Saturday.”

There was no animosity from McGregor during Thursday's press conference as he refrained from trash talk.
“He’s earned my respect through his activity,” McGregor said. “It’s hard not to respect Donald.
"There will be blood spilled on Saturday, but it won’t be bad blood. We’re focusing on the skills here and that’s going to be exciting for the fans.
"There’s going to be lots of drama in there and we’re eager to get going.”

McGregor has not fought since he was choked out by Khabib Nurmagomedov 15 months ago and endured a troubled year during which he was fined for punching a man in a Dublin pub.
One thing remained the same, however; his penchant for a prediction.
“I’ve got a solid opponent in front of me, a veteran of the game, and I’m just in a good spot," he said.
"I will win by KO."

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is confident the Reds will extend their sensational winning run when they host fierce rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday .

`` I am confident Liverpool will win the game , '' Carragher told Sky Sports .
`` Mourinho , in his first couple games at Anfield with United , made it really difficult for Liverpool .
