Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged fans to forget about his exit plans.

Klopp is eager to avoid distractions ahead of tonight's clash with Chelsea.

He stated in his match programme notes: "Finally, my programme notes for the Norwich game were complete before my decision to leave at the end of this season was made public so, although this is not an issue that I want to keep on talking about, it is right that I mention it here. Everyone has seen my reasons by now so hopefully they have been accepted but it is important that I reiterate that nothing will change between now and the end of my time here.

"My foot is still very much on the gas and it will be until the final minute of my final game. In the way they have acted, spoken and, most importantly, trained and played, the players are in exactly the same mindset so, as I've said, nothing changes. Our ambitions, standards and beliefs are no different.

"We know what we want and we know how hard we will have to work to achieve it. I – and we – could not be more in this season, I will put it like this.

"Finally, I would like to thank you for the support I was given on Sunday but at the same time I have another request. Tonight we need a proper Anfield atmosphere.

"This is definitely an occasion to forget that the manager is leaving at the end of the season and to do everything that we can as a collective to make it as uncomfortable as we possibly can for a really strong opponent. If we can do this together, we will definitely create an opportunity to take another step forward."
