Liverpool became the first team to spend three consecutive Christmas spells at the top of the top flight since the same club did so between 1978 and 1980, but Klopp won’t get too excited about this record.
And the club "7-Zero is a result that we don’t see often. After the Palace game, I had the feeling that we had managed to make up for the bitter defeat at Aston Villa.
"A couple of years ago we didn’t score with my team by winning the championship at Christmas. It is about the strength of the competitors.
"We are happy at the top, but we know very well how tough the competition is. Standing out is good and nothing more. If we want to achieve something special we have to concentrate until the end of the season".

In an interview with the Spanish daily AS last week, Salah expressed his admiration for the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, reinforcing speculation in the British media about the forward’s desire to leave.
“We never talk about player contracts. Salah is in a good mood and he’s having fun. That’s the most important thing,” Klopp told reporters before taking on West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
“He was laughing a lot today (during training). Other things may satisfy journalists’ hunger to write about, but internally there is nothing to say.”
Salah sat on the bench in a 7-0 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend and scored two goals after coming in as a substitute to help the Premier League leaders continue their impressive form.
Defending champions Liverpool have not lost in ten league games and have scored just eight since losing 7-2 to Aston Villa in October and have won three of their last four games.
Liverpool became the first team to spend three consecutive Christmas seasons at the top of the league since the same club did so between 1978 and 1980, but Klopp won’t be overly enthusiastic about this record.
“7-0 is a result we don’t see often. After the Palace game, I had the feeling that we managed to make up for the bitter loss at Aston Villa,” Klopp said.
“Two years ago we didn’t score after my team led the championship at Christmas. It’s all about the strength of the competitors.
“We are happy at the top, but we know very well how difficult the competition is. The advantage is good and nothing more. If we want to achieve special things, we have to concentrate until the end of the season.”
Klopp also confirmed that Thiago Alcantara, who joined before the start of the season, is not ready to return to West Brom, having missed the last nine games through injury.
Thiago took the first steps to return to team training.
“But it has not fully recovered and we will not rush to push it forward.”
