How the Merseyside derby makes Curtis Jones' competitiveness even stronger

"I always want to win. It's a huge game. I'm not going to think about that it's the last one there and things like that – it's with them and their fans and their history there. It doesn't really affect me.

"But any time that I play a game, I always want to win – and especially around these, I want to win even more. I'd like to come away with three points and a good game."

It's a quick turnaround into this encounter for Arne Slot's men following Wednesday night's 3-3 draw at Newcastle United, where Jones admits the Reds were far from their best over the course of 90 minutes.

The No.17 welcomes the opportunity to produce a much better display so soon after that trip to St. James' Park.

"That's the good thing – we're playing game after game," he insisted. "So you know, if you play a game where you didn't think it was a perfect game or you didn't play well – as I said already, I didn't think the first half \[at Newcastle\] was great – then there's a game now that as soon as the whistle goes we come out and be flying.

"We can go and press, we can just change the whole of the game and our mindframe as well.
