Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists the club can attract top players even if they don't secure UEFA Champions League football for next season.
The Reds currently sit in fifth position, one point behind Manchester United who have played a game less heading into this weekend's action.

The club have already withdrawn from the race to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, who is reportedly set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid next season.
However, Klopp is convinced a club with Liverpool's heritage can still attract big names even without the guarantee of Champions League exploits.
"If I'm allowed to talk to a player, we cannot say in the moment if we have Champions League football. So, if we're already talking, then it is already clear that he already knows about that situation," Klopp said on Friday, as per
"It's obvious we have to be part of the Champions League, fight for trophies ... If you want to be part of that, you're more than welcome. We cannot guarantee Champions League football.
"But all the rest is the same as before: a fantastic club with a really good football team -- and a better one hopefully next year. It's really that simple. Still Liverpool. We're really attractive to a lot of players."
Klopp's charges take on relegation-threatened Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Monday evening.
