Klopp chooses his words carefully while he is questioned about the tilt of the title

Jurgen Klopp was very careful not to give Manchester City a psychological boost in the Premier League race in his last interview.

Liverpool missed an opportunity to extend his advantage to the top of the table on closest rivals Manchester City in midweek at seven points, while City recovered three more points with a win over Arsenal on Sunday.

That means the Reds have two points ahead of West Ham at the Olympic Stadium tonight, but Klopp refuses to accept that his team has the advantage over the race to become a champion.

"Someone said before the match [Leicester] that if we win, we would have seven points ahead, "he said. Sky sports.

"Only one team in the history of English football has lost that advantage. It was Kevin Keegan's Newcastle and I thought what to do with that information. But human beings are like that.

"You can lose something – a track or something else when you have that feeling – but we do not think we can lose something. We do not expect to be six, seven, eight, 12 points ahead and we will feel safe.

"We are only doing our job and we have done very well so far. That's what we will do again. You decide what you think, I decide what I think.

"We are relaxed in this situation – not too much, it's not that we do not care. We care a lot, but we know we have to do our best until the last game and then we'll see what happens and where we finish the season.

"It is not a question of losing. It's about the possibility of winning something. We are in the situation where we can win something. Do we think we will win? No, because we can not be sure but we can do anything to try to be as high as we can in the table. I can promise that. "

Klopp, who asked what his dream was this season, said that he was not a big dreamer because he was too busy with 14 games to play.

"I do not dream too much. My dream is to stay healthy until 96 years old, 97 years old, without illness, I can remember everything, "added Klopp.

"I dream of that. [Being] having my grandchildren with my wife is my dream.

"I do not dream at work. I work to be honest. Our job is to make dreams come true. Not ours. Maybe boys have one. I am not a big dreamer. I am always a happy person. "
