Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they cannot relax - despite victory over Brighton sending them 11 points clear at the top of the table.

It means 13 wins and a draw from their opening 14 games of the season.

But Klopp says: "None of these 13 games we won were easy, we didn't feel that for a second. We don't think it before a game I am not sure what you think about what I feel before we go into a game, like halfway [there] or something like this. Unfortunately not, I think we are kind of concerned about different things, we are focused and that's it then we play the game. It is not that we feel ourselves as favourites in some games. What we really expect from us is that we fight with all we have for the result and that's what the boys did again.

"Result-wise, it is an incredible period for sure, but we don't want to think about the last 14 games we actually are concerned about the next one, which is on Wednesday against Everton and is a big one. We have to make sure we are prepared for that because it will be another big fight whatever result Everton will get tomorrow [at Leicester]. It will be really important for both teams, so we have to make sure we're ready for that again.

"We don't think about the points gap or whatever. People told me tonight already that we are 11 points ahead but Leicester play tomorrow, so it still [could be] eight. That's how I see it. Not that I don't think Everton can win there, but Leicester are in an incredible shape. We don't have to think about these kind of things, we only have to make sure we are ready always and always for the next game."
