Jurgen Klopp has detailed how he is implementing the same tactics at Liverpool that he used to help former club Borussia Dortmund win back-to-back titles.



It was back in 2010 when the German wrestled his way to the front of the Bundesliga after 10 games before winning 15 of his last 24 with BVB.

A 2-0 win away to Mainz on October 31 2010 took Klopp's side to the summit in Germany's top flight and they never looked back, strolling to the title by eight points.

The following campaign, Klopp would again lead Dortmund to the title in his homeland, hitting the front on match-day 20 and staying there for the remainder.

It is a model that the Reds' manager would, of course, love to follow again to bring the Premier League title to Anfield for the first time and he believes there is a key in trying to make sure that happens.

"There is not a time when we start counting down how many games we have left to the end of the season," Klopp said after Liverpool won 1-0- at Brighton.



"We are just completely, completely focused on our situation.

"Anything that happens around us is not important. The Manchester City game felt like a very average result because we lost a football game, nothing else.



"It was not because people saw it like missing a chance to open up a gap between us and City.



"It is all about staying completely focused on your own situation and obviously we can then win football games which the boys have proved this season already a lot.



"That's what we have to do to the end of the season."

Liverpool's manager spoke about how this was the same approach that he took when he was in charge at the Westfalenstadion to guide his Dortmund side to domestic glory.



Klopp added: "It was the same thing there because we played Bayern Munich pretty late in the season and we opened up a gap because we won 1-0, they missed a penalty and it couldn't have been more spectacular.



"But we then had to play Schalke and that was a another really big game so it's just a case of being really focused on yourself everything will be fine because you have no real influence on what other teams are doing.



"If you play them prepare for them, if you don't play them ignore them."
