Liverpool will take on Manchester City at Anfield tonight and the Liverpool boss has been giving his thoughts on the clash.
Asked about Man City's chase for the title
It's not easy but it is possible and we should try not to think about the title race. For us, in this moment, it is not really interesting to be honest. It's not the best news but it is the truth. If somebody wants to be champion, they should be champion without our help and our points. I don't think about who can win the league.
Reacting to the League Cup final defeat on penalties
We had, I think, more than 60 per cent possession against a football-playing side like Man City. OK, it was a little bit about the result - 1-0 for them and things like this. But we had a lot of good moments, we created a few chances, not enough with the possession we had. We saw a lot of things and they are what we have to use but especially now it is not possible to change the history of the game on Wednesday. We cannot say 'if we win this game tomorrow then somebody can give us the Capital One Cup', it will not be like this.
One eye already on next season
Yes, it’s clear that we are planning for next season. It’s not that we have to be the first in every moment. We want to be first usually if it’s possible in the table, but with all the other things we have to wait for the right moment to think about them. There’s nothing to say to be honest. It’s not that I can say we are close to this decision or to this one, but we work the whole day and it’s not only preparing for games - that’s the main thing to do, but we have to plan for the future and that’s what we are doing.
