The champions league finalists were held to a 1-1 draw by Tottenham Hotspurs in the Premier League at Anfield on Saturday.
That point was only enough to take Liverpool top of the table on goal difference, with City set to face Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Despite having much of the ball against a well-drilled Spurs defence, it was the visitors who took the lead through Son Heung-Min in the 56th minute but Luis Diaz found the equaliser via a deflected effort 16 minutes from time and Liverpool had to settle for a point.
When asked if he could envisage Manchester City not taking advantage of Liverpool's slip up, Klopp told reporters: "I can't see it."
"I wish I could think differently but I can't see it.
"My problem is not whether City smash Newcastle. It's Aston Villa on Tuesday.
"We have a point more than before so that's good and it's massively better than when we were 1-0 down. That goal really counts. But it's not what we wanted, we have to deal with it and we will."
The former Borussia Dortmund manager was also critical of how Antonio Conte set up his side.
"I'm sorry I'm the wrong person for that, I don't like this kind of football," he added. "But that's my personal problem. I think they're world class, and I think they should do more for the game.
"I think the game against Liverpool they had 36, 38 per cent possession, but it's my problem. I cannot coach it. So that's why I cannot do it.
"So yes, world-class players block all the balls, really difficult. Fine, whatever, fine, absolutely fine. I just can't. I respect everything they do, but it's not me."
