LIVERPOOL, England -- Jurgen Klopp played down the significance of Liverpool moving top of the Premier League after Saturday's 4-1 win over Cardiff City, but stressed the importance of keeping pace with their title rivals.
Liverpool, who were the only top-five side to play on Saturday, breezed past Cardiff as Sadio Mane scored twice at Anfield and was joined on the scoresheet by Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri.
Chelsea visit Burnley on Sunday, while Tottenham Hotspur host champions Manchester City the following day.
"The number of points makes the difference," Klopp said at his postmatch news conference.
