Klopp urges team to make top four

Liverpool FC manager, Jurgen Klopp has challenged his team to salvage their troubled Premier League season with a late bid to finish in the top four.

Liverpool is currently languishing in seventh place and sits five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

The Reds’ win over Wolves before the international break was only their fourth Premier League victory since Christmas during a spell in which they lost eight times.

With just nine games remaining — starting with Saturday’s trip to Arsenal — Liverpool boss Klopp knows his team has no margin for error.

“We don’t have a lot of points to waste anymore but we have a tough program on top of that, not only in the Premier League but the Champions League as well,” Klopp said on Friday.

“We will not hesitate, we will just go for it and hopefully we can do that on Saturday.

“It is always a challenge for teams after the international break, with players coming back from their countries having played different systems and different match plans.

“We have one session to bring it all together again and that’s a challenge but we are used to it.

“We know whatever we want for the rest of the season we can only get it if we win football games, and the first one is at Arsenal”.
