"Pep won't give up and neither will I"

Defeating Mourinho's team is another very important step in the season. That's why journalists were particularly interested in asking the Reds about how they are favourites to win the championship: for now they are in the lead.

"Our leadership is not interesting. It will only interest me when we have so many points that nobody can reach us," the coach said. He wants to stay focused on the competition and, until everything is certain, he will not celebrate.

About beating Spurs, he commented: "I don't see it as something special. I know that it is, but it doesn't feel like it is. When they give you a trophy, you've already done it, but until then you have to fight. This is only the start. We have to carry on because our rivals are so strong... Pep will not give up and neither will I."

At the moment, Liverpool are dominating the Premier League. They are in first place and are 16 points clear of second placed Leicester City. The Skyblues have a lot of work to do if they want to challennge Klopp's team for the top spot.
