In the wake of his team's thrilling 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest, Jurgen Klopp has evaluated Liverpool's prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.
This year, the Reds have not been in great form, with Klopp's team having difficulty maintaining consistency and producing results across all competitions.
The Merseysiders, who will likely finish the year without a trophy, have now moved their attention to qualifying for the Champions League.
According to the BBC, they made progress toward that aim on Saturday by defeating relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest in a closely fought game to earn three points.
The Reds battled to a 3-2 victory at Anfield, and thanks to a double from Diogo Jota and an outstanding performance from Mo Salah, they are now six points behind the top four.
However, when asked about Liverpool's prospects of finishing in the top four, Klopp was reserved, stating that it is out of their hands.
"Honestly, top four at the moment, we have nothing to do with it," Klopp told BBC as quoted by Metro UK.
"We will see about that in a few weeks. The rest we have no influence. We take it game by game and we have West Ham next which is really tough," he added.
In their quest to secure a place in the Champions League, Liverpool will face fierce opposition from a number of teams.
At the conclusion of the season, Manchester United, Newcastle, Brighton, and Tottenham Hotspur are all aiming for a top-four podium finish.
