Hull boss Marco Silva hailed a growing belief within his squad that they can beat the drop after their 2-0 victory over Liverpool on Saturday.
The Tigers have enjoyed one of their best weeks of the season, taking four points from Klopp's side and Manchester United.
They remain in the relegation zone but have given themselves a fighting chance of survival, with Swansea, Leicester and Middlesbrough all just one point ahead.
Silva said: "Of course I'm happy with our performance - my team showed a fantastic attitude and fantastic spirit, and the important thing is to keep focus and continue to take more points.
"We need to keep sight of our goal because we have only won three points and nothing more. But this shows the players that this is the right way and they can believe. This is important because when the players don't believe it is impossible."
New boys Alfred N'Diaye and Kamil Grosicki played a significant part in the Tigers' success and Silva admitted he had handed the pair their full debuts earlier than he might have wished.
They took their places in the starting line-up four days after completing Deadline Day deals along with Italian Andrea Ranocchia, who was only upgraded from the bench after Michael Dawson sustained a calf injury in the warm-up.
N'Diaye opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time before another January arrival, Oumar Niasse, sealed the victory with six minutes to play.
Silva added: "I would have preferred to give our new signings more time to work with the team but we didn't have the time.
"N'Diaye and Grosicki only worked with me for two days and normally I wouldn't put them in the first 11, but we need these players to improve our squad. Of course I know that in the next games they will improve like all the other players."
