James: Klopp can still lead Liverpool to top-four finish

Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James has backed Jurgen Klopp to guide the club to a Champions League spot this season.

Jurgen Klopp is still capable of leading Liverpool to a top-four finish in his first season in charge, according to David James.

Defeat to Watford last time out means Liverpool sits ninth in the table and have won only three of Klopp's first nine Premier League matches at the helm after he replaced the sacked Brendan Rodgers.

The former Anfield goalkeeper, though, does not think Champions League qualification is too much to ask.
