Jurgen Klopp insists he is not afraid of being sacked by Liverpool as they prepare to take on managerless Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.

Liverpool, who fell agonisingly short of an unprecedented quadruple last season, are now eight points behind the top four after suffering a 4-1 loss at reigning champion Manchester City on Saturday.

Klopp takes his team to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday after the weekend dismissal of Graham Potter and mere hours after the departure of Brendan Rodgers from Leicester.

Last week, Antonio Conte left Tottenham “by mutual consent.”

“I think the elephant in the room is probably why I am still sitting here in this crazy world,” Klopp said at his pre-match press conference on Monday. “Last man standing.”

The German acknowledged that the current season has been disappointing for the club, which is accustomed to winning trophies.

“I’m aware of the fact that I’m sitting here because of the past and not because of what we did this season,” said Klopp. “If this was my first season it would be slightly different.”

But he said he was not worried about the future, despite the fact that his eighth-placed team faces an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League next season.

“I don’t think that Graham was afraid but there’s no need to be afraid,” he said. “I’m here to deliver. I’m not here as a talisman or for murals on a house wall.

“I’m here to deliver. I know that 100 percent. There’s nothing else in my mind.”

The 55-year-old manager of Liverpool since 2015, Jurgen Klopp, reaffirmed his commitment to the club.

“I’m fully in,” he said. “There’s no doubt about that. We have to sort it. We cannot just continue playing like we do from time to time, not always, thank God, but from time to time and that’s not allowed really.

“I’m really disappointed about us that we do these kinds of things but it has happened so now we have to find a way out and that’s what we are constantly working on.”
