Jürgen Klopp has dismissed Jose Mourinho’s claims Liverpool have an unfair advantage in the race for Champions League places.

Mourinho has complained about Manchester United’s fixture schedule and injury luck as they seek the victory over Swansea this weekend that would take them above Liverpool.

While Klopp accepts United’s difficulties, he suggested there was little sympathy for his own club when they faced the same demands a year ago.

He also thinks United’s squad is such they are equipped to deal with so many games.

“It’s not unfair. It is the situation. Nobody asked us last year how we felt about it,” said Klopp.
