Klopp reiterates importance of Champions League qualification for Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reiterated the importance of qualifying for next season's Champions League ahead of the meeting with rivals with Chelsea on Thursday.

The Reds, currently sixth in the table, beat Sheffield United over the weekend but lost their four previous league games before the win at Bramhall Lane.

"This year is no different I would say, of course it will be very important. We cannot change things. I hope people still see that we do our best, our absolute best, try absolutely everything to make it happen," said Klopp.
