(Reuters) - Liverpool will not allow themselves to be distracted by the weekend's Premier League match against Manchester City and are solely focused on Tuesday's Champions League group game against Genk, manager Juergen Klopp has said.
League leaders Liverpool host City in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday as they look to extend a six-point advantage.
"I don't think about Man City, I don't have to tell the boys. The story they wrote the last three years is only possible because we focus on the next game," Klopp told reporters on Monday. "I don't doubt my players at all, I would feel a bit embarrassed if I had to tell them, 'Don't think about Man City already'."
"I don't know how he could have known about any incident in our game so quickly after the game," Klopp added."Sadio is not a diver. There was a situation in the Villa game when he got a contact and went down but there was contact.
