Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit out at suggestions that the quality of rival teams in the Premier League is poor this season, despite seeing his side build up a huge lead as they seek their first Premier League title. The Reds are points clear of second-placed Manchester City
Liverpool know they can win their first league title in 127 years with four more wins.
They face Watford this evening as they look to tighten their grip on the Premier League trophy.
Having gone unbeaten so far this season, Klopp’s team are cruising towards the title, and seem completely out of sight with another 20 games left. However, some have downplayed Liverpool’s achievement by pointing at the weakness of the rest of the pack, claiming the Anfield side have had it easy this year.

The likes of Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United are all considered to have become weaker this season.
But Klopp furiously rejected any claims that the competition has weakened the past year, as he pointed out City’s performance in the Champions League last week as proof. Pep Guardiola’s side came from behind to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in an impressive 2-1 win.
And the Liverpool boss believes that result proves City are still one of the best teams in the world.
