Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that a top-four finish in the Premier League would be "a success" this season.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that a top-four finish in the Premier League would be "a success" this season.

Manchester City are 15 points clear at the summit in the top flight, but Klopp's team are well-placed in third for a second successive finish in the top four.

The Reds, who play Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday, are ahead of Chelsea on goal difference and are three points behind Manchester United in second.

"Top four, for sure, is a success," Klopp told The Mirror. "When you start a season, you can dream of something and you have to make a realistic target as well. I think being champion is probably the dream — not only at Liverpool, but especially at Liverpool.

"Because of the season City is playing, that is quite difficult. Then I would prefer to be second if you cannot be first. But if you are second, third or fourth at the end of the season, when you look back all three positions are good — and similarly difficult to reach.

"Arsenal are not out of it. Tottenham is behind all of us at the moment, but only a couple of points. So it is tough to be top four."

Liverpool also remain in the hunt for a Champions League knockout stage run, with a last-16 tie against Porto awaiting the Reds later this month.
