Liverpool come within a point of Manchester City with one game to go

Steven Gerrard has never won the Premier League, but he has the opportunity to help Liverpool win it on the final day. His team, Aston Villa, will travel to the lawn of Manchester City, which is only one point ahead of the Reds with one day remaining in the championship.

Jurgen Klopp’s men went to beat Southampton on their lawn on Tuesday (2-1) and won the right to a “final” in the Premier League. Relegated to twelve points behind the Citizens at the end of 2021, the Scousers never gave up and this strength of character was again evident at Saint-Mary’s Stadium to capitalize on the draw (2-2) conceded to West Ham by City on Sunday. .

Klopp spun

After the exhausting FA Cup final against Chelsea (0-0, 6-5 ap. tab), Saturday, during which Mohamed Salah then Virgil van Dijk had to leave as a precaution, due to muscular alerts, Klopp had yet attempted a gamble by changing nine holders.

Only Alisson, in the cages, and Ibrahima Konaté, in defense, had started at Wembley and the midfield made up of Harvey Elliott, James Milner and Curtis Jones looked very experimental. But Klopp’s risky choice was rewarded. Before the end in apotheosis?
