Klopp won't let Liverpool stars get ahead of themselves in title pursuit - Kirkland

The former Reds goalkeeper thinks the German boss will keep his players grounded after a blistering start to the 2019-20 campaign

Jurgen Klopp will not let his Liverpool stars "get ahead of themselves" in their pursuit of a first league title in 30 years, according to Chris Kirkland.

A 3-0 win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday saw the Reds maintain their eight-point lead over Leicester City at the top of the table, as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah all got themselves on the scoresheet.

Not only did Liverpool extend their unbeaten run to 33 matches with their latest victory, but they also moved 14 points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City, who suffered a shock defeat at home to Manchester United in their last outing.
