James Milner is taking huge encouragement from the way Liverpool played in their 3-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Beating Jose Mourinho's champions at their home ground is the standout result of Jurgen Klopp's reign at the club so far and Milner feels it has built belief over what Liverpool can achieve.




Milner also believes that having Klopp and his staff at Anfield, a group who enjoyed substantial success at Borussia Dortmund, can only be a good thing for the Reds.

He told his club's site: "I think we’ve said it all season everything is there for us with the squad we have and we’ve got obviously new coaches, new staff and manager."
 


And Milner continued: "They are experienced and what they have done before is there for everyone to see. They’ve obviously been very successful and are looking to bring that here.

"This is an amazing club, we’ve got the fan base and the ground – everything is there for us to do well and I think it’s just down to everyone to just believe we can do well."

The Liverpool midfielder accepts his side's momentum was checked by a home defeat to Crystal Palace before the international break, but he believes the Reds can always look back at their victory against Chelsea as Stamford Bridge to build belief.

"We were on a good run before last weekend, so it’s important we get back on that and take belief from the results we’ve had.

"Not too many teams can play like we did against Chelsea and go there and thoroughly deserve a win, so we know we can do it. It’s about doing it more consistently and pushing on."

Milner is currently out of action with a hamstring injury, but is hoping to return after the international break against former club Manchester City.
