​Liverpool boss Klopp: We can only control our own destiny

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his side can only do their own jobs when it comes to securing second place in the Premier League.

The Reds are still fighting for second spot, but must be careful about slip ups that could let Chelsea back into the race for the top four positions.

Liverpool are currently in third place, two points adrift of Manchester United and with a seven point gap to Chelsea.

"We can only do our job," Klopp told the club's website.

"We have to win football games and the next one especially will be very difficult. Crystal Palace, they won on Saturday [and it's] after an international break so we have to be ready in two days.

"We will be ready in two days, that's a challenge but first of all they [Liverpool's players] all need to come back healthy and I hope really for that.

"Then we have to prepare for the rest of the season and use the good situation and the good basis we created."
