Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rated his side's chances of sealing a Champions League spot following their humbling loss to Leeds United.

The Reds, who have been inconsistent this term, were off the pace when they hosted Leeds at Anfield on Saturday, October 29.

A goal on either half of the clash from Rodrigo Moreno and Cysencio Summerville rendered Mohamed Salah's strike in the 14th minute a mere consolation for the hosts.

Reds' boss Klopp has now suggested that the Merseysiders are likely to miss out on a Champions League spot following their latest loss.

According to the German tactician, his side's inconsistent run of results could be their greatest undoing in their push to make the top four.

Asked about his side's top four prospects, Klopp said:

"That is actually not my main worry. There are a lot of other worries, but of course I am not that dumb that I don’t know about distances and who is up there."

"But we cannot qualify for the Champions League if you play as inconsistent as we do at the moment. We have to fix that and then we will see where we will end up. We know everything is possible, or a lot of things are possible. But for that we have to win football games and we didn’t do that often enough yet," he added via Goal.
