Jurgen Klopp expects leaders Man City to re-establish a six-point lead over Liverpool despite thrashing Leeds 6-0 to close the gap at the top to three and better their rival's goal difference

Jurgen Klopp again downplayed the significance of Liverpool’s winning run and said he expects Manchester City to re-establish a six-point lead in the title race this weekend.

Pep Guardiola’s side were 14 points clear of Liverpool – who had two games in hand - on January 15 but that gap is now down to three after Klopp’s side thrashed Leeds 6-0 – a scoreline that enabled Liverpool to better City’s goal difference.

Liverpool face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup Final on Sunday but, before then, City face Everton at Goodison Park.
