Following an impressive start to the season, which included the Anfield club’s 5-1 demolition of Hull on Saturday, the Reds have been installed as second favourites for the title behind Manchester City.
However, Klopp, when confronted with odds on Sky, joked: “I don’t understand the numbers!”
I know where I come from, you keep your money!
"It's not important to me... in this moment Liverpool feels good, but the last game is over and next we have Swansea after the international break.
'We have done our job, we have improved. I'm fine with the moment but not finally happy."
The German also insisted that the Premier League is the most competitive in Europe, and that many clubs are in with a chance of the title.
"No-one, apart from Leicester, was happy last season and the big clubs have reacted - it is definitely the most competitive league in European football,” he added.
"There are seven, eight, nine teams who thinks they should be top of the table. It's good for everyone that watches and we have to deal with the pressure."
