Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that his team's chances of achieving four titles this season will become clearer when its rival, Manchester City, plays the leaders of the English Premier League (Premier League), later on Sunday.
Liverpool won the FA Cup at the expense of Chelsea on penalties - yesterday, Saturday - to achieve a domestic double so far after winning the League Cup.
After winning 6-5 on penalties at Wembley Stadium, Klopp told reporters: "Let's see what happens. If City lose to West Ham then I will start thinking. If they don't lose we will decide to step down."
Liverpool are 3 points behind City, and are behind on goal difference before the last two league matches.
City will visit West Ham - on Sunday - and the difference may expand to 6 points, and then it will need one point from the last game of the season to retain the title.
Liverpool will also play the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris on May 28.
The German coach expects to make changes to his squad when he visits Southampton next Tuesday after playing extra time against Chelsea.

The position of Salah and Van Dyck
On the other hand, the medical examination today, Sunday, will determine the position of striker Mohamed Salah and defender Virgil van Dijk, after they were replaced in Saturday's match, but Klopp does not believe that the two suffer from a strong injury.
"I think they're fine," he said.
He also praised the Colombian winger Luis Diaz, who joined Liverpool from Porto last January, after he posed a constant threat to Chelsea.
"What a boy, what a story, but he should have scored, he fits us perfectly and that's really special," Klopp added.
And Saturday's achievement means that Klopp became the second coach to win the European Cup or the Champions League alongside the FA Cup, the League Cup and the English Premier League with the same team, after Alex Ferguson, who achieved that with Manchester United.
