Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: We're ignoring Man City

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy to be top of the table again after victory over Manchester United.

Klopp insists he wasn't bothered by Manchester City returning to the summit before Liverpool kicked off.

He said, "We ignored it completely. I cannot say we passed [the test of winning after City won] because we didn't think about it. I didn't mention it one time. We are not silly, we know the table. Are you focused on it or not? I said it before, we played tonight Man United – and not against United and City.

"That's the only way I know and we really didn't speak about it. I think that already helps. It's not that they win and then we come together, train and say: 'Did you see what City did?' We are focused on our game and we will see where it leads us to.

"If there is a moment in the end of the season when we're still around them and we have to think about [them] and start hoping they drop points, maybe – I don't know today. In the moment we respect them a lot, they respect us, and we have to win football games against all the others. Then we meet on January 3 again and then we think about City a lot."
