Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes Chelsea must find it "annoying" to have won 13 games in a row, but still see the Reds just six points behind.
Antonio Conte's men are on a remarkable run of form and can equal the Premier League record for consecutive wins if they beat Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening; Arsenal won 14 league games in a row in 2002.
Klopp is full of praise for Chelsea's superb feat, but thinks the Blues must find it annoying that after going on such a sensational run Liverpool are still very much within touching distance of them at the top of the table.
Following Liverpool's 1-0 win over Manchester City, Klopp told a press conference: "We cannot have a look at Chelsea. They are unbelievably strong, of course.
"They are on an outstanding run. 13 already. Not bad", Klopp continued.
