BOURNEMOUTH: Jurgen Klopp admits Manchester City will be almost impossible to catch at the top of the Premier League, but the Liverpool boss would happily settle for a top-four finish as a lucrative consolation prize. They are 18 points behind runaway leaders City, but Klopp is happy with his team’s current form as they chase a place in next season’s Champions League. But if they struggle, like maybe nobody with their quality has struggled before, then someone should be there to use it,” Klopp said. They now have 34 points from 18 games, largely on target to match the 76 points they reached last season to finish fourth. Egypt winger Salah has been a revelation since arriving from Roma, but Klopp is reluctant to talk up individuals.
