Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken a swipe at title rivals Manchester City.

After their 0-0 draw at Everton, Klopp sent a jibe in City's direction for the way they struggled to beat Bournemouth, thanks to Riyad Mahrez's strike, despite having 82 per cent of possession and failing to concede a single shot, while having boasting 23 of their own.

"I'm completely fine with chasing," Klopp said. "Who wants to be top of the table at the beginning of March? It is nice but there are lots of games to play," he said.

"I watched Match of the Day last night and saw the celebrations of Man City. They had 900 chances and scored one goal, a shot with the wrong foot. You have to be ready for these chances."

Liverpool have not won an English league title since 1990, and none in the Premier League era, but Klopp said he was still convinced they could end that wait this season.

"I believe 100 percent in our chance. Game by game by game, my feeling gets better about the boys because they look really ready for it.

"We didn't score, that happens. It was a difficult game. It was just a fight and we were ready for that fight. Now we have a point more than before. All good."
