Jurgen Klopp says “nobody is happy” at Liverpool with being fourth and potentially “level on points with Everton”.
The Toffees – who have two games in hand on the Reds – can join Klopp’s men on 40 points if they beat Manchester City at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
Liverpool are in a poor run of form that has seen them slip from the summit to fourth with ninth-placed Tottenham only four points behind them.

“We have had some not so good games but played some good games recently. We are always together in these moments,” Klopp told reporters.
“The mood is okay – but obviously it has been better. We have to keep our good things going. If you saw the games against Manchester City and Leicester they didn’t look like games we would concede seven and score two.
“It happened because of individual mistakes, we have spoken about that. One time it was miscommunication.
“But this is the Premier League. Nobody is happy with being fourth and only have 40 points and [potentially] being level on points with Everton and all these kind of things.
“We have to deal with the situation.”
On missing the support of the Liverpool fans, Klopp added: “We do this for the people. I feel the responsibility so much when things don’t go well.
“The majority of our people are still, and maybe even more so, with us. It’s nice to see but I’d prefer to fight this with our people in the stadium.
“It’s not what you wish for as you can show real togetherness if the stadiums were full for the next 10 games.
“So we fight together, just in different places. Knowing about the support is great.”
