Jurgen Klopp might be playing a little mind trick on his competitors.
In order for Manchester United and Newcastle to win all of their remaining games this season, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is betting on them, which would prevent the Reds from qualifying for the Champions League.
The Magpies and the Red Devils still have three games to play, but the battle for the top four could go down to the wire.
Newcastle and Manchester United are tied for third place with 66 points each, followed by Liverpool in fifth place with 62 points, four points behind them.
Erik ten Hag’s team travels to Bournemouth before hosting Chelsea and then Fulham, while Eddie Howe’s team still has to play Brighton and Leicester at home before a final day trip to Chelsea.
According to Klopp, his rivals will have six victories in a row, negating any chance they have of moving up the standings. Instead, Klopp believes they should focus on the teams that are currently behind them in the standings.
Still, Klopp told Sky Sports, “I expect Newcastle and United to win every game they play.”. That implies that in order to maintain a distance from the team in front of us, we must win every game.
“That’s the first thing we need to worry about.”. If not, then we will wait and see what happens, but for the time being, not much has changed. ’.
Liverpool has three games left as well, the first of which is Monday night at Leicester, where a win would put some pressure on the teams above them.
However, with only two games remaining, the Foxes are in desperate need of points because another loss would put them two points outside of safety.
Klopp said of taking on Dean Smith’s side, “It will be a real fight and we have to be ready for that.”. They are in need of any and all points. The game will probably be very challenging.’

Following the manager’s shocking assertion, Liverpool received a significant £70m transfer boost
Alex Mac Allister, a target for Liverpool, will likely leave Brighton this summer, according to Roberto De Zerbi.
The Seagulls’ incredible campaign has continued as they defeated Arsenal 3-0 yesterday at the Emirates Stadium. It improved Brighton’s chances of earning a spot in the European competition for the first time in the club’s history. Brighton is currently sixth in the Premier League standings.
Mac Allister has been a crucial member of the south coast team this year. A total of 11 goals have been scored by the midfielder, who last December in Qatar helped Argentina win the World Cup.
Mac Allister is at the top of Liverpool’s wish list as they prepare to overhaul their midfield during the upcoming transfer window. His reported price tag is £70 million, and some media outlets have claimed the Reds and him are close to an agreement.
After Arsenal’s victory, Brighton’s manager De Zerbi acknowledged to Sky Sports that Mac Allister and fellow engine-room worker Moises Caicedo might leave. We will undoubtedly lose some players, possibly Caicedo and Mac Allister, he said. We must be prepared to bring in additional talented players. ”.
Several players have been rumored to be moving to Anfield, including Mac Allister. In the midst of a generally disappointing 2022–23 season, Jurgen Klopp’s team appears destined to miss out on Champions League participation, and they will need reinforcements if they want to once again contend for major awards.
Other players rumored to join Liverpool include Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich and Mason Mount of Chelsea, as well as Matheus Nunez of the Wolves and Nicalo Barella of Inter Milan.
