What looked a mere dream not so far from today Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC outfit have seemingly brought back their top-four charge back on track with a rich vein of form in recent weeks.
The Merseysiders were most recently involved in an emphatic 3-0 win over Arsenal this past Saturday in North London with Klopp’s men putting out their very best on the pitch that had gone missing over the course of this campaign.
As they look ever so likely to cede their Premier League crown to the runaway leaders Manchester City, the pressure was on the manager and his players to claim a top-four berth with next season’s Champions League football at stake.
When Burnley came visiting Anfield earlier this season and walked away with the unlikeliest of victories which broke a near four-year-long unbeaten run at home for the Reds, it marked the spell of a disastrous run of form in subsequent outings when on their own patch.
Minnows like Brighton and Fulham took major points off Jurgen Klopp’s side as the relegation candidates further added to Liverpool FC’s misery with victories of their own on the Anfield turf.
However, the return of one Diogo Jota to the fold on Merseyside has reaped rich dividends for the Reds who had sorely missed their newfound talisman to a prolonged injury spell on the sidelines, with the Portugal international exhibiting a brilliant set of attacking displays just a few games into his much-anticipated return.
Jota was key to Liverpool FC’s recent triumph at the Emirates Stadium after his brace coming off the bench setting the right tone for the visitors to clinch would could prove to be a win of much significance come the end of this campaign.
With the Reds now sitting just three points adrift of fourth-placed West Ham United in the league standings, betting companies in Ghana have sounded out suggestions that Jurgen Klopp and Co. are very much back in the reckoning to pip the likes of the Hammers, Chelsea and Everton to seal their place amongst England’s elite four.
The growing consensus going Liverpool FC’s way is certain to provide much of a confidence boost to the previously under-fire Merseysiders who seemingly had satisfied themselves with the possibility of taking part in Europa League football.
A place in Europe’s elite tournament has advantages that are manifold, be it the incentives of greater prize money being pocketed by the club or the now paramount focus on luring the best players across the continent.
And recent developments indicate that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC have it in themselves to see through what remains of the Premier League campaign and ensure their place in the top-four, which is, barring any unforeseen circumstances that have often come as bumps in the 2020-21 season for the Anfield giants.
