Klopp urges Liverpool fans to stay grounded

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged fans not to get carried away.

Liverpool have picked up eight points from their five league fixtures under Klopp and now sit just eight points shy of surprise leaders Leicester City.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund coach is reluctant to pay too much attention to the standings this early on.

"I don't know in this moment who will win the league and I don't care about this, I don't think about this in this moment," he replied.

"It's only important to be concentrated on your own situation and how you can make your own progress.

"That's what we think about and if it would help to think about the end of the season, I would do it, but I know it does nothing.

"It's always important how far you are away from the position you dream of - it's better eight than 20 but two would be better than eight!

"We have to try to close this gap if it's possible and that is what we try."
