Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confident ahead of Dortmund second leg

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is banishing all thoughts of playing for a goalless draw, insisting his side will take the game to Borussia Dortmund on Thursday.

Divock Origi's first-half strike gave Liverpool a priceless away goal in last week's Europa League quarter-final first leg against the tournament favourites at Signal Iduna Park.

But the Reds manager has vowed to treat the second leg against in-form Dortmund at Anfield like a completely new game as Liverpool try and reach the last four of the competition.

"I don't think we went to the limit of our performance last week and I don't think Dortmund did either, but they are having a great season," Klopp said.

"Against Dortmund you can't just defend, there is a balance between attack and defence.

"Forget about last week's game, we have to go into tomorrow's game with a different attitude and we certainly won't be flying a white flag."

Anfield expects a famous European night, which puts the incentive firmly with Klopp's players, but he tried to play down expectations as they are facing the free-scoring favourites for the competition.

"I don't think we are under particular pressure," he said.

"What we are presented with is a great chance to get to the semi-final and it is rare to have a chance to win a trophy.

"The last few weeks has given us confidence. When you think about only the second half against Southampton (where they conceded three goals to lose 3-2) was a step in the wrong direction.

"We are better prepared than a few months ago. We are growing as a group, believing more in things and there is no doubt about the things we do.

"That is what has given us confidence. It is not important what I say here, it will have no impact on the game tomorrow.

"It is a good sign for all of us that we trust them (the players) and they trust themselves."
