Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes their next three matches could have a significant bearing on whether they stand a chance of finishing in the top four.

The German takes his side to Premier League leaders Leicester on Tuesday before facing struggling duo Sunderland and Aston Villa.

"I don't think we should think too much about it," he said.

"We have an away game at Leicester and these three games will give a little sign as to where we can go in this season.

"Even after these games it is not over. I think we have showed a row of more than okay performances so you can say we have a little bit more consistency even when we have made a lot of changes.

"That is what we have to bring on the pitch all the time now that we can fight for the right results.

"Top four should always be a target so it is a target but at the end only our performances will have an influence on this situation and that is what we should be concentrating on."
