Jurgen Klopp has admitted that this season will be a harder one for his team than the last campaign.
Liverpool stormed to the Premier League title last season after 30 years in one of the best seasons a team has ever had.
The last campaign was Liverpool’s year as they won the league by 18 points, they had led the table by as much as 25 points at one point.
The Reds are currently joint-top of the Premier League table with Tottenham, but Spurs are ahead of them on goal difference.
Jose Mourinho’s men have made a fine start to this season and they have been tipped to win the title, Klopp agrees and he doesn’t want to underrate any team.
He claims that this season will be tougher for the eventual league winner to win the title than in the previous campaign, and claims that he isn’t surprised by the title challenge of Spurs because they have a quality squad.
Asked if he this season would be tougher, he said via Mail Online: “Yes”
Klopp added: ‘A lot of quality in these squads. They all played a good season so far. Not surprised Spurs and Chelsea are there. Southampton look really good, Leicester we know about. A sign it is all close together this season. An interesting season. A lot of chances.’
