Klopp predicts next season’s Premier League as he gives his verdict on Man City and Man Utd brilliant campaign.
The Reds manager Jurgen Klopp declares ‘life’s too short’ to worry about in regards to the current success of both Manchester clubs.
The German but admits that next season is likely to be even tougher with the battle for the top four in the competition likely to increase.
Man City are on the brink of recovering the Premier League which they lost to Liverpool last season and holds a competitive edge in their Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain following the first leg results.
United on the other hand seems to have virtually secured their place in the Europa League final with a 6-2 thrashing of Roma.
Liverpool who are the defending champions have been left in the fight for a top-four place and they are currently outsiders in that race.

Speaking on his current Liverpool situation, Klopp said:
“We are responsible for the things that happen to us. We were involved in the last few years constantly in semi-finals and fighting or league titles
“I don’t know if other teams felt bad because of us but I wish for them not, I’m not like that. I’m not a person like this.
“They deserve the situation they are in. That is football, that is fair. They (City) won an awful lot of games. United turned the game around (against Roma) – like they did 20 times this year.
“I had my bad moments in the season for other reasons, not because other teams are winning more games than us.
“That’s not my problem, my only problem is with the opponent of the specific weekend and not think “Oh my God, City again and United are back on track.
“Life is too short for these kinds of worries or thoughts.
“We will challenge them again next year but this year we can only finish our season as good as possible and we have nothing to do with semi-finals and finals.”
Noting the competitive nature of Premier League:
“It always becomes harder because City never stops. That is clear. They did not stop and they will not stop,” he added.
“United is coming up definitely everyone can see that, Chelsea is obviously in a brilliant place, a top squad.
“Thomas (Tuchel) inherited a present and you can see that they are really good so it will not get easier.
“We’re not just talking about City there will be other teams for sure. We have to deal with all the other teams who are outstandingly strong but still go under the radar like Leicester: brilliant manager and a top squad dealing with different situations.
“Nobody should write off Tottenham or Arsenal. Obviously, West Ham is now flying. How can it be easier? It is not only City.”
