The Reds travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday seeking to make it 12 points from their opening four top-flight matches ahead of the season’s first international break.
Never before in the Premier League era have Liverpool won their first four league matches of a campaign, but Klopp is focused solely on the task at hand rather than making a ‘statement’ by achieving that feat this weekend.
“Of course it would be fantastic [to have 12 points before the international break], but we don’t go for 12, we go for three - and that’s difficult enough actually - and then the next three,” the manager said.
“How could I sit here after the season Leicester played so far and only have a percentage of an idea that we will win there for sure? That’s not possible. We only will try everything and for that we need to be ready for a real fight.
“They really have a good side. So in a situation like that people talk up the Champions League draw, we all talk about the same clubs and when the next matchday is - but there are really good football teams and Leicester looked to me really good in these first three games.
“The message will be we are ready and we were ready so far for all these games, that’s the message, but that doesn’t mean anything.
“Then the boys go all over the world again, big travel, big journeys, the Brazilians come from the USA in the midweek before we play Tottenham, so that’s how it is. We want to win that game, you can imagine that, but I can’t be sure in the moment it will happen.
“I have no problem with that but it doesn’t mean for the rest of the season anything, only that we have already 12 of the I-don’t-know-which number we’ll have at the end.
“Then very difficult games are coming up: going to Tottenham was never easy and will not be in the moment easy. That’s it, but we will still try to do it at Leicester with all the things we know about them. We know yes it’s possible but it will be really difficult.”
Claude Puel’s Leicester go into the match having recovered from their opening-weekend defeat at Manchester United by claiming back-to-back victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton.
The Foxes will be without the suspended Jamie Vardy for the visit of the Reds but, while acknowledging that the striker has been a thorn in his team’s side in the past, Klopp thinks Puel has other excellent players at his disposal.
“Jamie caused pretty much each team problems with his style of play. He’s always on the edge, going in behind, over the shoulder, all that stuff - it’s really difficult to defend,” the boss said.
“That makes him different to nearly all other strikers in the Premier League, that makes him so special and that’s good for him but now that he will not play that changed of course a few moments in the game maybe for Leicester.
“But Iheanacho is a very good striker as well, slightly different of course but very, very good. And they changed anyway the style a bit, so it’s a very good team.
“OK, we play them so it’s not important that I like it too much, but the work of Claude Puel obviously now starts paying off. You can see it with Maddison, Pereira, Gray, that’s an offensive line that not a lot of teams in the Premier League have, plus then whoever is the striker in that formation.
“So that changes the style a bit and the preparation for the game was really interesting because it’s good football Leicester are playing. I think they are full of confidence, especially with the last result, which always helps and it will be difficult for us.
“But how I said, we are in a good moment as well and we go there and really try everything, everything to get the result we deserve at the end. So if we play good maybe we can deserve a win, and if we play not that good then it will be difficult. We have to be at our best, that’s it.”
