Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp [Pool via REUTERS/Phil Noble]Liverpool will not give up their pursuit of a top-four spot in the Premier League to focus solely on winning the Champions League, manager Juergen Klopp has said. Liverpool waltzed to the Premier League title last season, but a campaign marred by injuries and poor form has left them in seventh on 43 points from 27 games, four points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea. But Klopp’s side can qualify for the Champions League next season by winning this year’s competition. “We are not in the next round so I can’t think about winning the Champions League now,” Klopp told a news conference ahead of Sunday’s Premier League home game against Fulham. We will see who we can field on Sunday and then make a decision for Wednesday but it’s not because we gave up in the Premier League, that will never happen.
