Liverpool are striving to rescue their season by qualifying for the Champions League
Sent packing out of the Champions League by Real Madrid earlier in the week, for Liverpool, the only saving grace this season will be qualifying for the top 4 of the Premier League.
With West Ham defeated on Saturday, Liverpool got a massive boost in the arm ahead of their showdown with Leeds United on Monday. However, the club still has a massive gap to bridge if it is to fulfil its designs of making it to Champions League next term.
Klopp Talks About Top 4 Chances
And Liverpool supremo, Jurgen Klopp was quick to admit the same. Speaking ahead of his side’s imminent matchup, the German talked about how Liverpool were under massive pressure at the moment.
“We just go for it, go and go and go and play our best football,” he said. “We are of course under pressure as we want to finish in the top four but we don’t know in the moment if we will. We have seven games to prove that and we will try,” Klopp said.
“We should not forget the opponents we face,” Klopp added. “We won the last three and that’s why we’re still around, still in the fight for the Champions League spots.
“It’s clear we have to win football games. It would be best to win all of them, but they are tough opponents and we have to respect all of them.
“We have to win games and put pressure on teams. That’s all we know and we will try.”

“Most of the players are playing the Premier League for the first time so they have to go through a process.
“Against City they could have scored seven, eight, nine (after going down to 10 men), on another day City score that, but they defended it really well. It was exceptional but Leeds are a really good side managed by one of the best and that obviously helps.”
“Using the information you have just given me I’d better start them in the next game as well,” Klopp said when asked about their record.
