Jurgen Klopp insists he does not feel the pressure to win trophies at Liverpool.
Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie with Leicester City will see the Reds attempt to win the competition at the third time of asking under their current manager.
Last season’s campaign ended in a semi-final defeat to Southampton while Manchester City edged out Liverpool on penalties in the 2016 final.
Anfield’s silverware drought has now surpassed the five-year mark but Klopp feels no extra pressure on his side ahead of the trip to the King Power Stadium.
He said: “Importance is same as ever – 100 per cent focus on that game.
“[It’s a] big competition, I don’t care how people see it.
“I’m not sure if there is pressure on us. I don’t feel pressure, I feel opportunity, the chance to do something really good.
“I have pressure, but it cannot be bigger than the pressure I put on myself.”
