Man Utd vs. Liverpool: The clash at Old Trafford will not determine the Premier League title – Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp are aiming for three points against Manchester United on Sunday, but the Liverpool manager insists that the victory at Old Trafford would guarantee them the Premier League title.

"We would like to win the match and score three points in front of City, of course we would," Klopp told reporters.

"Would a win over United bring in more than three points?" No, because we still have to face Tottenham, Chelsea and other tough teams before the end of the season.

"We have in fact three big games this week and United is only one, and after that we face Watford, who is a very good team and who would be in the top six if she could be a little bit better. more constant, then Everton away.

"They will approach the match as a World Cup final after their victory at Anfield with a goal in the 96th minute."

Klopp added: "If you're where we are, at the top of the table or almost, and you're aiming for the title, every game is important.
