"Liverpool" team lost to "Crystal Palace" club 1:2 and complicated their situation in the fight for a place in the Champions League. Christian Benteke's two goals took points away from the "Liverpool" club, and their task to remain in third place in the English Premier League table has become very difficult.
At the moment, the "Liverpool" team is in third place with 66 points, leading the closest pursuers "Manchester City" by two points and "Manchester United" by three points. However, there is one problem - the "Liverpool" team has played two more games than the Manchester clubs.
The team's head coach Jurgen Klopp reassures the fans and promises that they will do everything to stay in the top three: "Many people think that we will allow the Champions League slip away from our hands again, but it will only happen if we allow it. We will not give up. We will definitely not give up. Another amazing month of football, four matches. We will do everything," Klopp said confidently.
The "Liverpool" team still has matches against "Watford" away, then they will face "Southampton" at home, followed by a trip to London to play against "West Ham," and the season will end at Anfield Stadium against "Middlesbrough." In the first round, the team managed to earn 8 points, beating "Watford" and "Middlesbrough."
What can reassure the "Liverpool" players is that in England, there is still a Manchester derby to come, where it can be expected that both teams will drop points. After that, "Man City" will face "Middlesbrough," "Crystal Palace," "Leicester," "West Brom," and "Watford," while "Man United" will play against "Swansea," "Arsenal," "Tottenham Hotspur," "Southampton," and "Crystal Palace," with the exception of "Manchester City."
"Man City" has earned a total of 13 points against these opponents this season, and "Man United" has also collected 13 points against their future rivals in the first round. If all teams collect the same number of points as they did in the first round against their upcoming opponents, the "Liverpool" team will fall to fifth place and lose any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
