Jurgen Klopp plays down Liverpool's title hopes: 'Keep your money'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has played down his side's chances of winning the Premier League this season.

The impressive Reds have been installed as second-favorites to win the league, but the German tactician told punters to "keep your money" on Monday.

"I don't understand the numbers," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"I know where I come from, you keep your money, you don't do something like this!

"It is not important for me but it is better to have an optimistic mood around.

"At this moment, Liverpool feels good. We had this very important game against Hull and we did it in a really impressive way.

"It's nice to see [the table] but the one problem is the number, it is six games now so it's at an early stage which is the only problem. I'm happy about this but I know there is a long way to go."

Klopp said the number of title hopefuls this season has made the Prem different than other leagues in Europe.

"Everybody asks which is the best league and I have no idea, but that seven or eight teams think they should be top of the table or top of the league, that's quite interesting and we all have to cope with it," he added.

"It's good for everybody that watches it and we have to deal with the pressure."
