Jurgen Klopp predicts where Liverpool FC will finish this term
Jurgen Klopp assesses his Liverpool FC team's hopes of finishing in the top four in the Premier League this season
Jurgen Klopp has warned his Liverpool FC side to prepare for a tough battle in trying to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
The Reds moved back into fourth place on Sunday afternoon thanks to their impressive 4-0 victory over Bournemouth in the top flight.
The Merseyside outfit finished in fourth place in Klopp’s first full campaign in charge at the club last term as they secured qualification for this season’s Champions League.
Liverpool FC are now preparing for their crunch Premier League clash against Arsenal at The Emirates on Friday night as they look to try and extend the gap to their top-four rivals.
Klopp admits that he doesn’t know how many points his side will need to secure Champions League qualification this season, but he has admitted that they still have plenty of work to do in the race for a top-four finish.
Speaking at his post-match news conference on Sunday, Klopp said: “I don’t think it [the number of points needed to get into the top four this season] will be much lower.
“Everybody is winning up there very often, so you need to carry on all the time and stay on track.
“I don’t know how many points. It doesn’t make it more likely when I say whatever, but a lot of teams are in a good shape – and City win all their games, so it’s difficult to get them.”
Liverpool FC were 4-0 winners over Arsenal in the Premier League when the two sides last met in the top flight back in August.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is now preparing for a return to The Emirates to take on his former club after he left Arsenal to sign for Liverpool FC back in August.
