Liverpool must look to make Anfield a fortress again after two straight Premier League defeats at home and the visit of leaders Manchester City on Sunday can help kick-start their campaign, manager Juergen Klopp said on Friday.

Klopp's side, who romped to the title last season, went unbeaten in 68 league games at Anfield before narrow defeats by Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion and are fourth in the table with 40 points from 22 games.

"We need to play really good football. It's that I say 'come on now, it's Anfield'. We love playing there but lost the last two," Klopp, whose side have managed two wins in their last eight league games, told a news conference.

"We were not interested in not losing 68 in a row, so why start now? It's all about trying again, being positive and making Anfield a fortress again.

Manchester City can move 10 points clear of defending champions Liverpool with a victory at Anfield.
