Callum Wilson has taunted Liverpool by encouraging them to "relax" as the race for Champions League football next season intensifies.
After six successive Premier League wins, Jurgen Klopp's side are suddenly back in the hunt for a top four finish, a point off Man United and three of third-placed Newcastle, albeit having played a game more. The battle seemingly intensified in a 24-hour period last weekend as the Reds beat Brentford, with both their rivals then slipping up the following day.
Newcastle were beaten by Arsenal whilst United tripped up at West Ham, but both teams still have their destiny in their own hands. And peaking on the BBC’s Footballer’s Football Podcast, Wilson joked: “Liverpool need to relax! I said I could smell [a top-four finish] a couple of weeks ago. Now that scent is gone. I don’t know where it’s gone. I can’t find it!”
