Eko Hot Blog reports that Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, expressed that for his team to clinch the Premier League title this season, they would need both Arsenal and Manchester City to experience a downturn before the season concludes.
Klopp, who is anticipated to depart Liverpool at the season’s end, had aimed to conclude his tenure on a triumphant note by securing victories in the Premier League, Carabao Cup, and Europa League. He achieved success in the Carabao Cup in February.
Regrettably, his team’s Europa League journey has ended, coupled with two consecutive losses in the Premier League, dealing a blow to their title hopes.
Recalled that Liverpool notably fell 2-0 to Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday, April 24.
The stunning defeat means that Liverpool are now second in the league table with 74 points in 34 games, three points below first-placed Arsenal, and a point above third-placed Manchester City who still have a game in hand.
To secure the Premier League title this season, Jurgen Klopp and his team need Arsenal to lose one game and draw another in their final four matches, and Manchester City must lose two of their remaining games. Additionally, Liverpool must win all four of their remaining league fixtures.
“You can read the table. We need a crisis at City and Arsenal and we need to win football games,” Jurgen Klopp said after Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Everton.
On their performance against Everton, Klopp added, “It was not the most inspired performance.
“I really feel for the people, I’m really sorry for that. People have told me before about records in the derby. It feels really different (to have lost).
“It was unnecessary but it happened.”
