Jürgen Klopp said Liverpool should not behave “like it is a funeral” after being held at home by Tottenham but admitted he cannot envisage Manchester City dropping any more points in the title race.

Pep Guardiola’s team can open up a three-point lead with victory over Newcastle on Sunday and Klopp does not expect the reigning champions to falter over their remaining four games.
