Jurgen Klopp insisted it would be foolish to start thinking about a title challenge even though Liverpool chipped into Manchester City’s sizeable lead.
A double from Diogo Jota was enough to sink Leicester and the victory means Liverpool are now nine points the reigning champions with a game in hand – against Leeds at Anfield on February 23; Klopp’s side also face City at the Etihad on April 9.
Liverpool look to be running into form and an exhilarating first start from new signing Luis Diaz has only heightened belief that there is significant mileage left in this duel for the Premier League but Klopp is refusing to look any further than Sunday’s trip to Burnley.
