Saturday’s early Premier League match saw London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal in action, with both below Liverpool in the pre-game league table.
A 1-0 win for Spurs saw them leapfrog both Chelsea and the Reds into third, however.
It makes it all the more important for Klopp’s men to return to winning ways when they head to Southampton on Sunday, with Chelsea not in action until Monday night against West Brom.
Should Liverpool indeed take three points against the Saints, they will have a nine-point buffer over sixth-place Arsenal.
But keeping clear of Chelsea and Spurs will be more pivotal as the race for the top four positions really hots up.
