Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed that the team can only focus on themselves in the race for top four.

At the moment, the Merseyside outfit sit third in the Premier League table, two points above fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and two adrift of Manchester United.

Chelsea are lingering outside the group five points behind, but Klopp has suggested that his players will not be looking at their rivals around them in the final seven games of the league season.

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

Liverpool have lost just two league games since the start of November.
