While Jurgen Klopp continues to publicly play down Liverpool’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, you wonder how he feels behind the scenes.
The Reds were given fresh hope on Sunday, following their 1-0 win over Brentford the day before, as Newcastle United lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal before Manchester United lost 1-0 away at West Ham United.
Both defeats mean Liverpool remain only a point off the top four, with the Red Devils a point above them in fourth and the Magpies two points clear in third. However, both sides do have games in hand on Klopp’s side, while seventh-placed Brighton & Hove Albion, who currently sit seven points behind the Reds, have the potential to leapfrog them into fifth courtesy of three games in hand.
