Liverpool Can Twist MU and Advance to the Champions League –Liverpool will definitely fail to reach the 2022/2023 Premier League throne. Now, the public is actually waiting for the competition between the Reds and Manchester United. Liverpool Can Twist MU and Advance to the Champions League
Yup, the two Premier League giants are struggling for a place in the Champions League zone, aka the top four standings area. Liverpool can still be proud because the chance to play in the Champions League next season is wide open.
Entering week 36, Liverpool are entrenched in fifth place in the standings with a score of 62 points. They only disagree a little bit less than Manchester United.
In the next match, Monday (15/5/2023), Jurgen Klopp’s squad will travel to Leicester City headquarters, King Power Stadium. If you look at the performance and position, Mo Salah et al have the upper hand.
Sportskeeda released, Liverpool will finish in the top four at the end of the season. There are at least three reasons that support this prediction. Anything?
Rise Up
Jurgen Klopp’s troops have shown inconsistency throughout the season. It made fans very disappointed.
The 9-0 victory over Bournemouth is seen as a turning point for Liverpool. However, Liverpool slumped again after beating Newcastle 2-1 at Anfield.
The next three games against Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal yielded just two points. What happened next was absolutely jaw-dropping as Liverpool beat Manchester City and West Ham United 1-0.
Unfortunately, they lost two games in a row to bottom teams Nottingham Forest and Leeds United. Liverpool struggled to appear consistent in the next match.
Armed with key players such as Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold who are back in their best form, Liverpool will most likely finish this season with a top four finish. The victim?, could be MU.
The Squad is Back Strong
Liverpool’s 6-1 thumping victory over Leeds United was Liverpool’s jump into the top four. This victory could not have been separated from the contribution of a number of pillars who have returned to peak fitness such as Darwin Nunez, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota and Luiz Diaz.
Luiz Diaz has been out of action since the 2-3 defeat against Arsenal in September. Meanwhile, Diogo Jota has not played for four months due to injury, as well as missing 16 Premier League matches.
The midfield, which has become the Reds’ weakest link this season, is also getting better. Previously, Naby Keita and Thiago missed 13 matches due to injury and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missed nine fights.
However, things are much brighter now. Klopp now has most of his core players in combat-ready condition. This means that the coach can again rotate his squad depending on the needs of the team.
Rivals Begin to Falter
Despite their recent resurgence, Liverpool are unlikely to finish above Newcastle United or Manchester United if they do not drop points from here on out. Luckily for the Reds, their rivals have been staggered in the last few matches.
Manchester United lost two games in a row within a week. The Red Devils are showing signs of a grueling season in which they have played 57 matches.
Erik ten Hag’s team have only managed the maximum in three of their last eight matches in all competitions. Key players such as David de Gea and Marcus Rashford looked exhausted.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, lost two of their last five league games. The Magpies have a game that is always fast, so that sometimes they are not optimal.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have a fresher, healthier and deeper squad than either of their rivals. So, fans hope that Klopp and his troops can earn nine points from the remaining last matches. Com
