Following a draw against Brighton at Anfield, Liverpool are third in the table and five points behind leaders Chelsea.

However, Klopp added that Liverpool don’t see themselves as underdogs in the title race.

“We don’t consider ourselves in that way — we want to be in it, but whatever role we have I don’t care,” he said. “With our quality we should be in and around the top of the table.

“We don’t have to talk about quality of [Manchester] City and Chelsea. The league is incredible. There’s no game where you can go and say ‘we can rest him and him and him’. In the last two or three years, it has been the best league in the world.”
