Gary Neville believes Jurgen Klopp's actions at the end of Liverpool's convincing win over Leicester City last night was a sign he is 'coming for Newcastle and Manchester United'.
The victory saw fifth-placed Liverpool move within a point of third and fourth place with two matches remaining. Klopp's men have now won seven on the bounce and are ending the season like a train.
Both Newcastle and Man United have a game in hand, which Neville believes will prove crucial in the race for a top-four finish.

He insists the two clubs have to get the points they need themselves, rather than hope Liverpool drop points because he's in no doubt the Anfield side will win their remaining games against Aston Villa and Southampton. Newcastle entertain Brighton on Thursday, before welcoming relegation-threatened Leicester to St James' Park four days later and ending the season with a trip to Stamford Bridge.
Neville believes they have every reason to be looking over their shoulders at the form of their nearest rivals and will end up out of the top four if they do not take care of their own business. He saw enough in the celebrations last night to believe that will be the case.
Speaking on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, Neville said: "Jurgen Klopp’s little fist pump at the end is definitely something if you’re a Newcastle or Manchester United player that you recognise he’s coming for you.
"I think he’s sending them a message and they’re going to have to make sure they do it properly because Liverpool will win their two games. Manchester United and Newcastle have got to forget the idea that Liverpool might drop points, they’ve got to do their jobs or else they’ll end up out of the top four."
