MATCH PREVIEW (via Reuters)
Liverpool’s late-season charge could yet see it gatecrash the top-four and it hosts Aston Villa seeking an eighth successive victory to keep the pressure on Newcastle and Manchester United which is away at Bournemouth.
Liverpool manager Juergen Kloppp, after the 3-0 away win at Leicester, said six weeks ago he had doubts about the club’s chances of playing in Europe next season.
“I didn’t believe it can happen,” Klopp told reporters. “What we lacked that time was obviously consistency and there was only one chance for us to get in these situations – winning pretty much all the football games.
“All the rest is not in our own hands but we know we have to win all the games until the end of the season to have a chance.
“... You wish anyway that the opponent was just losing and you have that kind of pressure off your shoulder. Our job is to keep the pressure.”
