Liverpool boss Klopp confident Man City will drop points

Liverpool have to be perfect for the rest of the season if they want to win the Premier League.

The Reds and Arsenal are both adrift of Manchester City in the title race with a handful of games to go.

Klopp, whose team are out of Europe after sling to Atalanta in the Europa League quarter finals, spoke about the title race as they prepare to take on Fulham on Sunday.

“When we were in the position we didn't win the league in the end," he stated on narrow title race defeats in 2019 and 2022.

"We lost by a point and stuff like that. What kind of experience is that? We know how to get there – and then don't (win). It's not about that. That is not the main difference.

"It's good to know that you are good and you can cause other teams problems. But the thing is clear: if you want to be champion in the Premier League you have to be close to perfect and if you are not perfect you have to deal with the setbacks in the best possible way or in a perfect way. That is what we are now doing. Now we have to start turning it around."

Klopp added: "I think if we would win all our games there is a good chance we will be champion. If not, there is a good chance someone else will be champion. Maybe we only have to win five but nobody knows. Who would have thought that Arsenal lose against Aston Villa? We have to go there still, it's not one of my favorite away games. But it just happens.

"We all sit here and think, 'okay, yeah. City will win all their games' and that's happened quite frequently but they have a lot of games to play and difficult opponents as well. We don't think about that. We don't think about them. It is just how can we make sure we start winning games again."
