Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has played down his team's chances of making the top four despite a run of seven games that leaves them only two points behind Manchester United and Newcastle.
The Reds beat Leicester City 3-0 tonight in a show of dominance at the Kings Power Stadium to keep their Champions League hopes alive, but Jurgen Klopp does not think it is likely.

What Klopp said
Curtis Jones gave Liverpool the lead in the 33rd minute before doubling their advantage three minutes later. Trent Alexander-Arnold capped off the scoring in the second half with a brilliant free-kick routine as they brushed aside the gutless challenge from Leicester.
Klopp was excited about the win and where it leaves them on the table, but he does not think their current momentum can project them into the top four, usurping one of Newcastle or Manchester United.

"It's all we can do. I don't think it's likely [finishing in the top four] when you see how they play, they have so much quality. It would be a real shame if they slip and we're not there. So we have to do our job,” he said, per the BBC.
"I think we have qualified for European football which six weeks ago wasn't in sight. I wouldn't have believed it [that they'd be in the Champions League mix]. We didn't show this consistency."
