As Jurgen Klopp scanned the fixture list looking for a potential chance to build their confidence after their defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, he didn’t find it in their next Premier League outing. Liverpool only have champions and league leaders Manchester City who are a whopping 14 points ahead of them now.
The German admitted himself that it’s hardly the ideal game for his Reds side who are languishing in 10th spot in England’s top flight. In fact, they even sit two places below Bournemouth – a team they destroyed 9-0 at Anfield earlier this season.
The fact Klopp mentioned Rangers and Manchester City when looking ahead to his side’s next games following the 3-2 Gunners loss but only referred to City as not being the ideal match for his team tells you that he doesn’t think the same of Wednesday’s visit to Ibrox. And why would he? Rangers and City are hardly on the same level with billions of pounds separating them.
