Jurgen Klopp backs Liverpool to produce a winning run in Premier League top-four race - 'I really think we are ready'

Jurgen Klopp has backed his Liverpool side to produce a winning run as they attempt to close the gap on the top four in the Premier League. The Reds have struggled for consistency throughout an unremarkable campaign thus far, winning just three of their last 10 matches in all competitions. Ad During that run they have lost 3-0 to Wednesday night’s opposition Wolves, twice to Brighton and were on the receiving end of a 5-2 thrashing at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Champions League'That can't happen' — Klopp calls on Liverpool players to 'learn from this game'21/02/2023 AT 23:47 Out of the FA Cup, Liverpool’s main priority is now to hunt down a Champions League spot for next season. That may well be easier said than done, however, given nine points separate fourth-placed Tottenham and Klopp’s reds. And with EFL Cup champions Manchester United to visit Anfield on Sunday, that makes Wednesday’s game against Wolves crucial.

When asked if there is a feeling of urgency to get on that run with 15 games of the league season to go, Klopp replied: «That's 45 points. That would be a good moment, a really good moment! That's what we want to do. »We have to force it, we have to play and enjoy what we are doing.

I really think we are ready. If there's a club who can do it, I really think it's us. Honestly.

«We will strike back in general. But now we have to make sure we squeeze every single thing out of this season that we can. »I don't know what it will be but the obvious spots aren't too far away from us.
