Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has expressed his frustration after the 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Liverpool lost ground in the title race after succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at home against Crystal Palace.

The Reds tasted defeat at home in the league for the first time in 28 games, compounding what has been a bad week for Jurgen Klopp.

This follows the 2-2 draw with Manchester United last weekend, and the 3-0 demolition suffered at the hands of Atalanta in the Europa League in mid-week.

Klopp unsure of Liverpool's title chances

Speaking after the game, Klopp, who cut a frustrated figure, shared his thoughts.

"The title race? the answer is pretty easy. If we play like that in the first half, why would we win the league?”.

“Play like second half and we can win games. Win games, be around until the end and we'll see where it takes us”.

Liverpool are now third, 2 points behind leaders Manchester City.

Arsenal have a chance to climb back to the top with a win against Aston Villa.
