Klopp provides injury updates on Alexander-Arnold and Gomez. Speaks out on Walker tweet: Press Conference

Liverpool can maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table with a win over Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United. Ahead of the game, the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has spoken out to the press. On Lazar Markovic Previous transfers did not work out and we were not responsible for that. He can go to Fulham and show his potential again. I am happy for him. He’s a good lad, a really good footballer. Hopefully, it will work out for him. Klopp on only clearing snow from Kop End penalty box on Wed night Our groundstaff tried to clear it but we didn't have enough manpower. Nobody told them to do it like that and just clear their box, I can promise that. Klopp on team news Trent and Joe are not fit. There is no return date for Joe. Trent is getting better and better and better and is really close. I hope he is in full training next week. Klopp on 'title-nerves' We use our brains from time to time. It's a situation in sport, you have to create an atmosphere, mood and belief in the team over the full season. In our case, over the last three-and-a-half years. We've had a lot of tight games over the years.  We've got to finals, we didn't lose them because of nerves. We've had a lot of tight situations and we have done it. We do what we always do, we handle our situation in our own way. If you want to win something, there'll be a bunch of people who hope you win and another bunch who hope you lose. It's better to pretty much ignore both and then hopefully at the end of the season celebrate with the people who hope you win. Klopp on title We are employed by LFC a club with big dreams, and we are the people who have to deliver these dreams. Klopp on the current points tally Who wants to finish sixth? It will be disappointing if we finish with 63 points at the end of the season. From that point of view, it would be not too cool. We have nothing bad to say about our season so far. The boys are doing a fantastic job and that is why we have 61 points. You can’t compare with any other season. Last year we wanted to be fourth so desperately it felt like we had to win every game because Chelsea were right behind us. And we had to win the Champions League games too. I don’t think about how many points we have. It’s not important. We want to finish the season in the best way we can. Klopp on squad depth and versatility I hope we don’t have more injuries because we already have enough. The same with suspensions. It’s why you build a squad. You know about these players. You know they can do different jobs. If you don’t have them, you need players in each position and then you have a very big squad. You think two players in each position until one is injured and then things are a thing. We have internal solutions for different problems so credit to the boys. Klopp told about Kyle Walker's tweet I never celebrated that another team dropped points or lost a game. For me, that's not allowed. You have to do your own things, you have to try to show your best performance. For supporters it's different but for people involved... Klopp on taking each game as it comes Each game feels like the most important of the season. In specific moments you need a bit of luck and the right decisions from the referee. We were unlucky with some decisions against Leicester, we don't moan about it, it's just a fact When I woke up on Thursday morning the sun was shining. We get ready to go again. Klopp on Gomez for Bayern Munich I don't think so. Not a realistic target. After that? We will see. Klopp on dropped points If other teams had not dropped points, we would not be top of the table. That is the nature of the game. At the end of the season, we will see.
