Jurgen Klopp: We are all fighting for second place in Premier League
11:34 16 December, 2017Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his team is playing to finish second in the Premier League, saying Manchester City had the title sealed, Goal.com reported.
Pep Guardiola's City have surged 11 points clear atop the table, winning 16 of their 17 games while scoring 52 goals.
Klopp feels there is no longer a title fight – not even for second-placed United – with City so far clear at the top.
"This season nobody is really fighting any more for the title. I don't think United are," the German told UK newspapers ahead of his team's trip to Bournemouth on Sunday.
"We will all try to come as close as possible but if City doesn't have any drop then they will probably win it so does that mean all the others have to stop?
"To be the best of the rest could be a fantastic target. So it is to try to have the best position in the table which for us for the last – I don't know how many years – is probably third or second."
