Liverpool play Southampton and Wolves in their final two Premier League fixtures, while Man City face Aston Villa knowing a win will seal the title; Liverpool’s trip to Southampton on Tuesday is live on Sky Sports Premier League from 7pm; kick-off 7.45pm
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects to miss out on the Premier League title and an unprecedented Quadruple as he admitted: “I don’t expect Manchester City to drop points.”
Liverpool’s FA Cup win at Wembley left them halfway towards completing an unprecedented Quadruple, with the Premier League and Champions League trophies still up for grabs.
However, with City at home to Aston Villa in their final match, Klopp – whose side host Wolves on the last day – is not expecting Pep Guardiola’s side to slip up again.
“I am really looking forward to the game tomorrow,” he said. “Is it a big chance? I wouldn’t say so because I don’t know when City last dropped points two games in a row.
“I don’t expect City to drop points, but that has no influence on our game tomorrow. In an ideal world, we’ll go into the last match one point behind.”
Salah suffered a groin injury in the first half and Van Dijk was withdrawn before extra time with a knee issue.
Klopp said: “This process is not finished yet. We played 120 minutes only two days ago.
“The boys only arrived today and we have to make a lot of decisions.”
Midfielder Fabinho, who missed the cup final with a thigh injury, is not yet ready to return but defender Andy Robertson should be available after suffering cramp on Saturday.
Klopp: Fans wouldn’t boo without reason
Speaking ahead of his side’s trip to St Mary’s, Klopp also responded to questions about Liverpool fans who booed the national anthem and Abide With Me before Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea.
It left many bemused, including Klopp, but the Liverpool boss says there must have been a reason for their actions.
