Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he does not set targets for his team to reach at landmark stages in the season.

The Reds have reached the 10-game mark sitting joint top of the table, only behind Manchester City and Arsenal on goal difference.

Victory over Watford on Sunday would make it 12 games without defeat in all competitions, and Klopp stressed that he is solely focused on the Hornets' trip to Anfield.

"I never thought about it. I think you should not make these [targets] and say after 10 games I want to have 23 points, it would mean you already expect that you will lose a game. I never expect to lose a game. It's like it is. We took the games like they were, we did the job, sometimes a little bit better, sometimes a little bit worse, that's how it is," he told reporters.

"It's better to be in this position than in another position but even if we had six points fewer we would not stop playing football. Watford is everything I think about, not the 10 games we've played until now.

"Watford have changed maybe more than we have - a manager, system, players too. They have not conceded in their last three games so that says a lot. They play a different system to a lot of other teams in the league and we have to respect this."

Liverpool's heaviest defeat under Klopp came at the hands of Watford at Vicarage Road last December.
