The Reds sit sixth in the league heading into Saturday’s clash with second-placed Manchester United at Anfield, but could close the gap on their rivals to four points with a win at home.
The idea has been floated that, under Jose Mourinho and with the massive amount of investment United have made under his watch, a gap is once again opening up between the two most successful clubs in the country’s history.

But Klopp does not believe that his club will be left behind and claims that if he ever feels that way, he’ll head for the exit.
“In the moment when I think we cannot be successful — and there is only consolation — I go,” Klopp told reporters. “Why should I be here as some kind of caretaker until the world creates a manager who can be more successful? That makes no sense. I am really convinced.
“Other managers have different ways to do it. Other clubs have different ways to do it. We have our way. I don’t think I’m the perfect manager. I only think I’m the perfect fit for this club and I feel already much more responsible than maybe I should.
“If your neighbour has a better situation — he’s got one more car, he gets to go on one extra holiday — does it mean you can’t enjoy your own situation? It’s about us being happy, not others. Can we dominate them for the next 20 years without spending the same amount of money? Probably not.
