Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool currently have no Premier League advantage in being out of Europe, but admits Manchester United could benefit from an early exit from the Europa League. The German does not believe Liverpools lack of continental competition gives them any benefit over their domestic rivals and queried whether Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is asked such questions, with the Blues also having no fixtures in Europe this season.Klopp also suggested that Jose Mourinho and United may soon be in a similar position after their 2-1 Europa League defeat at Fenerbahce saw them slip to third in Group A. Man United lost 2-1 at Fenerbahce on Thursday What is an advantage? Its only our situation, nothing else, Klopp said ahead of Liverpools Premier League clash at home to Watford on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1.When I was in Europe, I never thought this is too much. We just have to show that we use the extra time for training. Football Score Centre app Sky Sports customers can watch Premier League goals and highlights every weekend at no extra cost. Do you ask Antonio Conte about this every week? Maybe Man United will have it from January. Maybe ask them. Maybe its not a positive thing [losing] and then from January, its very positive not being in Europe any more.United host second-placed Feyenoord on November 24 before travelling to face Zorya Luhansk on December 8. Klopp has welcomed the appointment of new Sporting Director Michael Kennedy at Liverpool, but insists he remains responsible for all transfers Liverpool were well beaten by Watford at Vicarage Road last December, with Klopp saying the only good thing about that day was the clubs Christmas party which followed the game, but he insists a great deal has changed since then for both sides.When asked what has changed, he said: Thank God a lot! The time was really busy. We had game after game, with injuries. This day Watford did well but it was too easy for them. We had a big say in the result. So nothing to compare in this moment.

He [the press officer] enjoyed it a lot!Watford have changed manager, system and players. They have conceded zero goals in the last three games. Well figure out what we have to do. They play a different system to a lot of other teams in the league. We have to work on this, we have done it all week, and try to play football.

Liverpool vs Watford November 6, 2016, 1:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass He said: I dont need a break. But we wont have a lot of players here [next week]. With the intensity of the Premier League, we need to use little breaks.When I came here, I think the players had a few days off and I changed it. Silly decision. It was only because I was not used to it. But now we are proper England coaches. We know about the intensity. Watford beat Liverpool at Vicarage Road last season They have a program to train, to get and stay fit. A real training session makes no sense with five or six players. We try to have a game behind closed doors, the result is not important. Then when the players come back, we prepare for the next game.The Liverpool boss also had warm words for Danny Ings, who has been ruled out for the season with a knee injury. Liverpools Danny Ings is facing season-ending knee surgery Not a nice story but its an important story, Klopp said. Everyone who knows Ingsy likes him. From yesterday on, its already a positive story because the surgery was successful and rehab has started. We will wait for him and give him all the time he needs.Danny will be back and will be a Liverpool player 100 per cent. He was very, very close to the team in the last few weeks. Everything will be good at the end but now its time to work on the comeback.

MILWAUKEE -- Khris Davis bat splintered after making solid contact with the pitch and he started running. He didnt know where the ball landed, but suddenly his fellow Milwaukee Brewers were rushing him at first base. He got doused with a celebratory cup of water and quickly figured out what happened. Davis hit a game-ending, two run single to centre with the bases loaded in the ninth off Pittsburgh Pirates closer Mark Melancon for a 4-3 win Thursday. "I was just looking around and all of a sudden my teammates were running at me," the second-year left fielder said about the postgame celebration and impromptu shower. "I just took it with a good smile, glad I could help win." A nine-game homestand ended on a high note for the surprising Brewers, who maintained their five-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central and got their fourth win in five games. It was a big confidence boost especially for Davis, a young slugger who struggled the last few weeks but has showed signs of breaking out of his slump. His average had dipped to .212 before going 4 for 9 in three games against the Pirates. Does this make him "Klutch" Davis? "Im not big on nicknames, but it sounds good," Davis said with a laugh. "Why not?" The comeback spoiled the return of Pirates starter Wandy Rodriguez from the disabled list with right knee inflammation. Rodriguez allowed solo homers to Rickie Weeks and Martin Maldonado but struck out four in his first start since April 19. Gaby Sanchezs solo homer off Yovani Gallardo in the sixth snapped a 2-2 tie to give the Pirates the lead until Melancon (1-2) broke down in the ninth. Subbing for injured closer Jason Grilli, Melancon had converted his four previous save opportunities. Ryan Braun led off the ninth by singling. Melancon walked the next two hitters to load the bases with nobody out. "Hes a human being and just didnt have his best stuff today. The walks are uncharacteristic," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Hes been here for a while, and thats something we havent seen." Up came Davis,, who smashed his broken-bat hit to drive in Braun and Jonathan Lucroy.dddddddddddd Melancon had given up just one walk in 19 previous appearances this season before Thursdays meltdown. "I just put myself in a bad spot," Melancon said. The Pirates nearly came through with a win for Rodriguez, who fared much better Thursday than during two rehab starts in the minors. The veteran left-handed posted a 10.38 ERA with Double-A Altoona. "I dont pay attention to my speed. I pay more attention to how I located the ball," Rodriguez said. "I only made two mistakes today." Weeks homered the other way into the right-field corner off a 2-1 slider in the third to extend the second basemans hitting streak to eight. He finished 3 for 4. Rodriguez entered with a 7.65 ERA, while Melancon had a 1.42 ERA. In the end, the Brewers ended up having more success against the closer. Reliever Rob Wooten (1-1) threw 1-1-3 scoreless innings. Gallardo allowed five hits, three runs and two walks, and struck out six in 6 1-3 innings. Gallardo "did a nice job," manager Ron Roenicke said. "He made one mistake on a high slider, but I thought he threw well. He kept us in there, and we scratched." The short-handed Brewers went a second day without star outfielder Carlos Gomez, who is nursing a sore back while serving a three-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing brawl between the teams April 20 in Pittsburgh. The Pirates Tony Sanchez had a two-run homer in the fifth, his first of the year.
