Adam Lallana has enjoyed arguably his best spell in a Liverpool shirt of late - and he probably could not have timed it better.

The attacker has helped manoeuvre the Reds into touching distance of the top four of the Barclays Premier League with three consecutive wins, and will be hard for Jürgen Klopp to overlook when Manchester United visit Anfield tonight in the Europa League.

Sitting down with Liverpoolfc.com ahead of the tie, the No.20 reflected on his recent good form, his relationship with the manager, bouncing back from Wembley disappointment and the huge European tie that awaits.

Read on for a full transcript of the interview...

On a huge week...

Obviously it's a huge week, we're playing Manchester United. I think the results we've had in the past couple of years against them gives us another incentive for a bit of revenge. I've never tasted a win since I've been at Liverpool against United. On top of that as well, being in the knockout stages of a tournament we want to win. It's going to be a difficult test, Manchester United have been under pressure this season, but name a team that hasn't. It's going to be a big game and hopefully we can come out on top.

On the mood since Wembley...

I think off the back of the disappointment of the final, the lads have responded tremendously. We've had a few good results in the league. It's nice how we can put the league to bed for the next week and fully focus on the two legs against United.

On never surrendering...

We've scored a few late winners this season and I think that shows what character and what confidence is going through the squad, that kind of never-say-die attitude. I think it was nothing more than we deserved on the weekend [against Crystal Palace], especially going down to 10 men. The lads were brilliant and kept fighting. Fair play to Christian [Benteke] at the end, he was ice cool and slotted the penalty. We've got a fully-fit squad at the minute and the competition for places is there and that's only going to help in the next two games and for the remainder of the season.

On the crowd singing his name against Manchester City...

You're aware of it initially when it happens. Obviously in the middle of a game it might give you that extra spring in the step for the moment. It's important not to get carried away and stay focused on the game. We were 3-0 up at the time but that's only one game, it was off the back of being so disappointed in the final so it was important that we had the reaction as a team. Hopefully that might be a little boost we need as a team - getting a result against City and then Palace. There is no easy game, as has been proved in the last two or three years. It's nice to go into the United game off the back of a couple of big wins.

On the best form of his LFC career...

It's hard to comment on that really. I feel that I've played well in games this season and maybe not had as much of an involvement in terms of goals or creating goals. All that matters to me is the team getting the win, regardless if I'm contributing to the goals. It was nice to score [against City] and anybody will tell you it's nice to get on the scoresheet in big games but as long as the team wins and I feel like I've contributed to that, then I'm happy with that.

On staying angry...

There's definitely got to be an element of anger in a team if you want to be successful. You want to be difficult to play against and play on the front foot and be aggressive in the mind and physically - that's also going to be an important attribute in the next two games.

On the Manchester United occasion...

You need to play the game and not get wrapped up in the occasion. We want 11 men on the pitch at all times, even though when we were down to 10 men at the weekend we proved we could cope with that. But there's that fine line and the lads are professional enough and know the limits and the barriers.

On what he's expecting from the first leg...

I hope it's a typical Premier League game. The way we've been playing at the minute - on the front foot and taking the games to teams. European football can be different at times but being two Premier League teams and a big rivalry, the atmosphere is going to be great. Also a night game can bring that extra spark to a game so I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

On the impact of the fans...

[They can play] a massive part. Anfield can be rocking at times and deafening in the night games, it brings that different element to it. I'm just really looking forward to it and they can act as the 12th man for us at times. Hopefully we can start the game well and give them something to cheer about.

On Klopp praise....

If he's saying that then that's his opinion and it's something good. It is a good idea for players to play the way he wants us to play, it's a good match. I like playing on the front foot and being aggressive pressing players, it's exciting taking the game to other teams and it is hard work and I'm all for that. Hopefully we can keep improving and find some consistency with our performances. I feel this season there have been maybe two good performances and then one not-so-good one, two steps forward, one step back, so hopefully we can consistently perform as he wants us to and that we can achieve something special towards the back end of the season.

On the celebrations at the end of the game with the manager...

When you win a couple of games it's easy to celebrate after but it's just as important when you lose games and then myself missing a penalty in the final, it isn't easy, but the lads stuck together. You saw that with our reactions in the Manchester City game just 72 hours later so the disappointing moments can be just as vital as your positive moments. It's all about sticking together.

On learning about himself working under Klopp...

You experience playing under different managers and playing under Jürgen has been another experience, and one I'm enjoying. I still feel I'm learning under him and the team are learning. Gradually, we're starting to see his philosophy filter through the team. We're not there yet, I think a good pre-season will help - lots more training. With the amount of games we've got, it's been difficult to be on the training pitch for a long period of time and now we've got everyone fit, that helps. Hopefully it is going to be an exciting future for us under Jürgen Klopp.

On Klopp's qualities...

He's a powerful manager. You listen to what he has got to say. He's got experience in winning trophies, experience in Germany, so he has experienced different cultures. I think he's probably felt he's learned a bit from us as well, coming to England and playing without a winter break. There's a lot of differences from the Bundesliga I'm sure. It's only going to be good for the future and next season, having experienced it so far this season.

On Dejan Lovren...

Dejan has had a couple of niggly hamstring injuries. As soon as he came in the team after it, I think his first game was Man City midweek, he was outstanding considering he had been out for so long. It was no secret how well he played in the second half against Palace when we went down to 10 men - he was winning every tackle against [Yannick] Bolasie, especially with what a strong player he is. Dejan is full of confidence at the minute and that is only good for us. He's a top, top defender and I'm sure you're going to see more performances like you've seen.

On understanding the expectations of LFC...

Everyone is different, everyone takes a little bit longer to settle. I can only imagine for a foreign player it's even more difficult than someone that has been in England like myself. The language is a hurdle you have got to overcome. He's a great lad, Dejan, and he integrates well with all his teammates and I've never been in any doubt that he was going to be a success at Liverpool.
