The 1-0 victory over Manchester City, courtesy of Georginio Wijnaldum's eighth-minute header, maintained the second-placed Reds' six-point gap to Antonio Conte's side. "Chelsea have won 13 games in a row. Not bad. Can you imagine how annoying it is when you win 13 games in a row and there is still one team only six points behind?" he said. "It is difficult in this league but we cannot have a look at Chelsea, they are unbelievably strong and they are on an outstanding run. We have to win our games and see where that takes us.
Klopp played down the significance of victory over Pep Guardiola's side. "I don't know if I need to be anything but to be happy when we win against City. I know I don't," he added. "We got the three points. We deserved it and that is the only thing which is really important."
