Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has conceded that their chances of clinching the Premier League title rely heavily on the performance of rivals Arsenal and Manchester City, suggesting that they need to experience “bad moments” for Liverpool to capitalize.
Klopp’s remarks come in the wake of Liverpool’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Everton on Wednesday night.
Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin secured a crucial victory for the Toffees, dealing a blow to Liverpool’s aspirations for the title.
With Liverpool now trailing Arsenal by three points and Manchester City by one, albeit with two games in hand for the latter, Klopp addressed questions regarding Liverpool’s title prospects.
In response, he admitted, “Arsenal and Manchester City must have a very bad moment.”
The defeat to Everton marked a setback for Liverpool, who had hoped to maintain pressure on their rivals at the top of the table.
Klopp expressed regret over his team’s performance, stating, “I can only apologize for today to the people. We should have done better but we didn’t.”
Liverpool’s quest for a Premier League title faces an uphill battle, with their fate partially dependent on the fortunes of Arsenal and Manchester City in the remaining fixtures.
As the season reaches its climax, Klopp and his team will be acutely aware of the need to capitalize on any slip-ups from their rivals while striving to improve their own form to keep their title dreams alive.
