Jurgen Klopp does not believe Premier League leaders Manchester City are feeling the pressure of Liverpool's pursuit -- even if his side go top of the table.
An early start at Bournemouth on Saturday means Liverpool could overtake their rivals, who have an evening kick-off at fourth-placed Chelsea, but the German does not believe that will have much effect.
City have won 13 of their 15 matches -- Liverpool's best start to a season in their history has seen them win 12 games -- and already scored 15 more goals than their fellow unbeaten rivals.
"I don't think (Manchester City) feel pressure. They don't look like they do," said Klopp.
"That's not the first target anyway, the first target is to try to perform on the highest level, because it's needed at Bournemouth. Eddie (Howe) is doing a fantastic job there, and it will be difficult enough."
"That was really important because Trent is still a young boy and we cannot push him through 20 games in a row."
