Jurgen Klopp Sheds Light on 'Surprising' Record Against Top 6 Rivals Ahead of Clash With Chelsea

Jürgen Klopp has insisted that he's surprised by Liverpool's poor record against their top-six rivals in recent years, but added that he believes the club's success in Europe could offer an explanation.

Liverpool have won just one of their last 12 matches away at top-six sides, a 2-1 win over Tottenham last September, picking up nine points from a possible 36.

Although Klopp admitted that's a 'surprising' record given their performances during that time, he claimed Liverpool's success in the Champions League over the last two seasons could explain why results away from home against top-six rivals have been dropping off.
