Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does not think Sunday's clash with arch-rivals Manchester United will be definitive in their quest for a top-four place as he believes his side are well in the hunt already.
The midweek victory over Wolves closed the gap to fourth-placed Tottenham to six points with a match in hand and Spurs still to come to Anfield.
What it has done has underlined the fact that, after taking 10 points from a possible 12 with four successive clean sheets, Liverpool are up for the challenge.
'The important thing about the chase is that the chase is not a one-day trip, you really have to go for it,' said Klopp when asked if Sunday provided the opportunity to send a message by beating an in-form United.
