Jurgen Klopp "could not care less" about Premier League title race predictions

Jurgen Klopp has refused to discuss Liverpool's Premier League title credentials following a great start to the 2018-19 campaign.

The Reds, who made several high-profile signings in the summer, have won both of their league games so far, scoring six goals and conceding none.

Liverpool's first game of the season saw them run out 4-0 winners over West Ham United, before leaving Crystal Palace with three points and a clean sheet in a 2-0 win on Monday night.

"It's very early. I couldn't care less really," Klopp told Sky Sports News when asked about the early stages of the title race. "We are not in a race with other Premier League teams each weekend.

"I was not 100% sure tonight in the first half that we would score. You have to play it as it is and be a real challenger, play ugly, do all that type of stuff. Our target is to be a difficult opponent.

"It is too strong to say anything after two match days. You can discuss whatever you want - just do it without us."

Liverpool have joined five other teams, including champions Manchester City, on six points in the table after their opening two league fixtures.
