After West Brom Vs Liverpool Match, The Reds Now Targets Victory Over Burnley

JAKARTA - Jurgen Klopp insists ending a challenging season by qualifying for the Champions League will be one of Liverpool's greatest achievements.

Not without reason. A severe injury crisis has affected the Reds this season, damaging their Premier League title defence.

It started when Virgil van Dijk suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the October Merseyside derby and had to miss the rest of the season. Klopp has also lost defenders Joe Gomez and Joel Matip for most of the season, alongside other key players.

An unbeaten eight-match record has presented a previously unlikely chance of finishing in the top four.

Liverpool got an additional boost by the fact that Chelsea and Leicester City, who are above the Reds, will meet each other on Tuesday. Guaranteed points lost for at least one of both teams would provide an advantage for last season's champions.

Klopp's team is on the fifth and sit one point below Chelsea and three points below FA Cup winners Leicester.

Liverpool faces the remaining favourable games against Burnley and Crystal Palace - both safe from relegation and with little advantage in the final week of the 2020-2021 season.

Chelsea travels to Aston Villa on the final day and Leicester hosts Tottenham.

And finishing in the top four will culminate in a remarkable change of direction for Liverpool.
