Jurgen Klopp believes his Liverpool side need to win every single Premier League game left on their schedule to have any hope of catching Manchester City in the title race.

Liverpool, who have a game in hand over City this week when they play Leeds, saw the gap reduced to six points after Pep Guardiola’s side were dramatically beaten 3-2 at home to Tottenham.

Klopp revealed he chose not to ‘follow’ how the match unfolded and assumed it was City who had won the game when he was told there had been a late winning goal.

‘I was on the way home when it was 2-1 Tottenham, then I arrived at home and didn’t follow it anymore as I was sure they would equaliser anyway,’ Klopp said.

‘Then the driver was very excited and told me it was 2-2 and then 3-2. When he said 3-2, I thought City had won so I said “OK” but he said “no, Tottenham won 3-2”. I said “Oh” that was my reaction.

‘For us nothing changed because we have to win all our games.’

Asked if City’s defeat to Tottenham has shown a weakness others can exploit, a dismissive Klopp thinks Guardiola’s side can go and win every one of their remaining games.

‘We expect that,’ he said of City winning all of their games. ‘Historically it happens more often than not.

‘We play them once, that’s one we definitely want to win. This game [Leeds], nothing has changed.

‘We cannot win everything in just one game, we just try to win a very difficult Premier League game. We saw all the faces of Leeds on Sunday.’
