Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has ducked comparing his team with the club's great sides of the past.
Liverpool are on the verge of surpassing the record of the club's great side of the 1980s but manager Jurgen Klopp insists his players do not want to be compared as they are creating their own history.
If they avoid defeat against West Ham on Sunday they will extend their unbeaten run to 26 matches, beating the club's all-time league landmark set by Bob Paisley's 1982 team.
“It was for sure not easy in the (Bill) Shankly and Paisley times to win football games," he said.
“There was a specific level for all footballers and all teams and one team had to overcome it and to do that as regularly as Bob's teams did, that makes them all-time greats.
“But why should we compare that? We don't see ourselves as in any kind of comparison with them. We try to do what is possible now – and I don't know what is possible.
“If we see it is possible but difficult then the fun part starts really. Then we want to have it with all we have."
