Klopp on Liverpool title-run: We'll enjoy the ride

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will "enjoy the ride" as they look to claim their first top-flight title win in close to 30 years.

The Reds can extend their gap at the top of the table to nine points with a win over third-placed Manchester City at the Etihad tonight.

Klopp isn't willing to put any pressure on his players and insists they will take everything as it comes.

"Now, we are in a really good moment, that's true, but we have to go to Manchester City and play all the other big ones apart from Arsenal," Klopp told Gary Neville on Sky Sports.

"It's football. I don't need to know now what will be in May. Who can't really live with the time between now and May? Go on holiday and switch everything off then come back in May and see what happened. I cannot change that. I don't want to. I want to enjoy the ride until May!

"For us, the target was to qualify for the Champions League and even that is not sure because the others can win 17 games in a row.

"We have to only be focused on us and that's what we do and so far, the mood in the club and around has got better and better. We will see where that leads us to."
