Liverpool's top-four rivals are finally looking nervously over their shoulders - and Jurgen Klopp relishes it.
He wants his side to go out against Manchester United and punch home the fact the likes of Tottenham, Newcastle and even the Red Devils themselves “realise we are not completely gone”. Remarkably, despite two very different seasons, with the Old Trafford club lauded and Liverpool lambasted, victory at Anfield in the English ‘Clasico’ would put the Reds seven points behind their great rivals with 13 games remaining.
That offers an outside chance of third place, and Klopp insists his team is not dead yet. “The important thing about the chase is that the chase is not a one-day trip,” he explained.
