Jurgen Klopp hails Liverpool's 'special' season but delivers warning to players

Liverpool are second in the Premier League and will play Chelsea in the final of the League Cup at the end of the month.

They will also face AC Milan in the Champions League next week and are also safetly into the last 16 of the FA Cup.

That will create a lot of pressure on the Liverpool squad heading into the final three months of the season, and Klopp says he is in new territory himself as a manager - but has also warned it can go wrong very quickly.

"It's the first time in my life (of being in with a chance of winning four trophies) - in Germany we only have two competitions plus the Champions League," said Klopp ahead of the visit of Leicester.

"It is a building block, always, until the 35th matchday and then there is a finishing block, so we are still building.

"At the beginning of the season, when you have a really good start or a really bad start, and you (the media) ask us 'What did you make of the start?' - it is a start, nothing else.

"Unless it is a catastrophe you have to deal with it and if it is a catastrophe someone else has to deal with it.

"We create a base for decisive moments in the season: I don't know exactly when that will be but we want to be in the different competitions as long as possible and in a position where the last three or four matchdays are interesting.

"I don't think it ever happened at this time of the year we were still in all four competitions, that's special.

"And we came through a really tricky situation, having two of the best strikers in the world (Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane) not available and Naby Keita a world-class midfielder not available, plus injuries.

"The boys did a good job and now we have to clear our minds with all freshness, desire and determination.

"We go now for the Premier League, we go into a Premier League game with all we have. That's the plan."
