Klopp: Next three games will define Liverpool’s season

“Only Manchester City have topped the Premier League table for longer than the Foxes this campaign and the side entering February top has a habit of winning the Premier League”.

“I don’t think something will happen in terms of incomings”, Klopp said at a press conference.

They are eight points off fourth place now and Klopp is not ruling out Champions League qualification but believes the coming fortnight will give him a better idea.

The 25-year-old striker has scored six goals and has made three assists in 20 Premier League games for the Merseyside outfit so far this season.

“I don’t want to get my chance and then blow it. It’s testing because everyone wants to play week in, week out, but we’ll see what comes of it”.

“Even after these games it is not over”.

Klopp said that the top four should remain a target for the side, saying: “Top four should always be a target so it will be a target, but only our performances will influence this situation”. “We need that on the pitch all the time to fight for the right results”.

Benteke became Liverpool’s second most-expensive signing of all-time in the summer transfer window after Klopp’s predecessor Rodgers signed the Belgian in a £32.5m deal from Aston Villa.

NBCSN went with Leicester City hosting Liverpool, in the latest challenge for the Premier League leaders as the schedule shifts back from the FA Cup. “Divock and Phil and maybe Daniel should return to training – I think Daniel on Wednesday and the other two guys on Thursday”, he added. We defended well and had a good structure in the game.

“I can easily praise Leicester because it’s great what they’re doing but now we play against them and we are not supporters!”

The form of midfielder Joe Allen, who has had a resurgence in January having been a bit-part player, is also a significant boost for the German. The Liverpool boss concluded saying that at present we must all admit “he is in really good shape”.
