L iverpool have previous when it comes to muddling through the majority of the season only to finish strongly in the run-in.
Two years ago, they were eighth in the Premier League table with 10 games to play. A top-four finish was looking precarious after six straight home defeats, but Jürgen Klopp’s team went unbeaten in their last 10 games of the season, winning eight of them, and finished third.
Klopp is hoping for something similar this season. Having been off the ball throughout the campaign, Liverpool suddenly look formidable.
They have won their last six matches and, with three games to play, are now just one point behind Manchester United and Newcastle, albeit having played a match more than the two teams above them.
