Swansea City vs. Liverpool: Focused Klopp puts Villarreal on the back-burner

Liverpool faces a crucial European clash with Villarreal next week, but Jurgen Klopp is focused only on Sunday's trip to Swansea City.

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool will not have one eye on its season-defining clash with Villarreal when the Reds visit Swansea City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Liverpool welcomes Villarreal to Anfield next Thursday for the second leg of their Europa League semifinal having suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first meeting at El Madrigal.

First, though, Klopp's side travel to south Wales, and while the German is irked at the Premier League's decision to schedule the match for a midday kick-off - meaning the Reds have a little over 48 hours to prepare after their exertions in Spain - he is also adamant that Swansea has his full attention.
