Jurgen Klopp has promised Liverpool fans they will get a parade in the event his team goes on to lift the Premier League title.

But the German acknowledged that is still plenty of work to do to end the club's 30-year wait for a championship when football resumes.

The Reds' push to claim the two wins they need to clinch the title will resume later this month without fans in attendance as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Social distancing measures are also likely to have a major impact on any celebrations, but Klopp is keen to put that right at a later date.

"You celebrate always, wherever it is," he told BBC Sport.

"If we will be champions - whichever celebration is possible we will do as a team internally. And with all our supporters in the moment when we are allowed to do so again.

"I can promise if it happens there will be a parade as well. Whenever. Who cares!

"But we only need one day where everybody is able to come and then we will do that."

Of course, the Liverpool manager is not taking anything for granted, even while his team boast a 25-point lead over second-placed Manchester City.

"We are still not champions. We have to play football games and we have to win them," he continued.

"We know we are close but close is not there. There are 27 points left for us and we will try everything to take them all.

"We don't want to stop winning after two games or whatever it is. I don't see results written in the stars already; we have to work really hard."

It was reported last week that some of Liverpool's remaining games may have to be moved to neutral venues due to police fears over supporters congregating.

But Klopp is not overly worried about that possibility, and insists he would happily accept such measures over not playing at all.

"We will not have the help from the crowd but no team will have that so where is the advantage?" he added.

"Whoever we play it is the same situation which is why I'm not too worried about it.

"We have tried to simulate the situation by training in the stadium and getting used to it.

"If you look at Germany, they have not had a lot of home wins. If the alternative is not to play at all, then I will play wherever you want. I don't care."
