Jurgen Klopp rated Liverpool’s possibility of triumphing the Premier League as \u2018not likely but possible\u2019 following the under-strength quadruple trailers took the title race to the final day of the season with a 2-1 victory against Southampton on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties in an anxious FA Cup final just 3 days before, Klopp took a chance with 9 changes at St Mary’s.<\/p>\n
Despite effectively fielding a reserve team and chasing to\u00a0Nathan Redmond’s early strike, Liverpool came back through goals from Takumi Minamino and\u00a0Joel Matip.<\/p>\n
Liverpool is just one point behind leaders Manchester City, with both teams having 1 match to remain.<\/p>\n
A title race for the ages will go City’s way if they triumph against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Klopp urged at the weekend that he does not look forward to City to drop points against Villa.<\/p>\n
However, Liverpool would be recognized as champions for the second time in 3 seasons if they trounce Wolves at Anfield and City flunk to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it is unlikely because City play at home against Aston Villa, who play only on Thursday. It is possible, not likely but possible. That is enough,\u201d Klopp stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is our last home game of the season, the atmosphere will be outstanding, and we will try to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course it could happen. Football is a tricky game sometimes. The only chance we had tonight was to win. We did our job. We never give up.<\/p>\n
Klopp’s men will be anticipated to do their part of the equation facing Wolves, especially now their refreshed crucial players can return to the squad.<\/p>\n
Sadio Mane, Luis Diaz, Andrew Robertson,\u00a0Thiago\u00a0Alcantara and\u00a0Trent Alexander-Arnold\u00a0were among those left out versus Southampton, whilst\u00a0Mohamed Salah\u00a0and Virgil van Dijk were put off with injuries suffered at Wembley.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never had a group like this. They push each other constantly. In the end, it is absolutely outstanding and tonight is really special,\u201d Klopp stated.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would have had much more problems today if we’d played the guys who played 120 minutes on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it hadn’t worked out, it would have been 100 per cent my responsibility. Now it worked out and the boys should be really proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool will now head to Paris to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on 28th<\/sup> of May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jurgen Klopp rated Liverpool’s possibility of triumphing the Premier League as \u2018not likely but possible\u2019 following the under-strength quadruple trailers took the title race to the final day of the season with a 2-1 victory against Southampton on Tuesday.
