Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits his side are under pressure following Sunday’s draw with Manchester United.

Despite the goalless encounter, the Reds remain one point clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.

The German is keeping calm about Liverpool’s precarious position but admits the pressure is rising.

“Of course there is pressure. Actually, from my point of view, it is a very positive pressure, but I don’t have to play – I only sit here and say dumb things, so that’s easy,” said the German.

“We all have to learn in these situations, the only way we can do it is with passion. This club, the heart and soul of this club, is passion.

“On Wednesday night we have another chance (at home to Watford) and then there’s the derby, which is always a very emotional game so, again, passion.

“I get there has been a few too many draws in the last couple of games but, still, we are where we are so let’s go on.

“People can say ‘Man City are doing better’ but we don’t compare ourselves with that because we have to get the points our own way.

“There are different ways to be successful and so far we were successful. That’s 100 per cent true.”
