Liverpool have failed to win 12 of their 23 Premier League games this season
Jurgen Klopp says he doesn’t hear the “noise” around Liverpool’s slip, but is “concerned” about its form.
The Reds, in fourth place, who have played one more game, are 10 points behind leaders Manchester City.
They have lost their last two games but will move over Leicester if they beat them on Saturday (12:30 GMT).
“We have 15 games to go, a lot of points. It’s not about where everyone else is or where they finish. It’s just about us,” Klopp said.

Despite winning the Premier League by 18 points last season, Liverpool’s average points per game have fallen more than any other Premier League team since matches began to be played behind closed doors last June.
The Reds have suffered serious injuries from players like defenders Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip.
Portugal forward Diogo Jota, who has scored nine goals in 17 games since signing for £ 41m from Wolves last September, has not played since 9 December due to injury.

Klopp added: “We know that we are not completely disoriented, but we know that we have to be successful in the future and that is what we will try to be.
“To be honest, I don’t understand the noise around the results. Whatever you wrote, I didn’t read it. But I know what the situation is and I’m talking about results.
“Although I know the reason why we do not fly, I hope we win more games than we have.
“That’s what worries me.
“We will do our best to have the best season from now on. We will. That is our job.”
