The distance to the third Leicester is only six points. In the last round of the championship, Jurgen Klopp’s charges could not beat Leeds at home, ending the match with the Peacocks in a 1:1 draw. This draw interrupted Liverpool’s good streak of three in a row. During this period, the Merseysides beat Wolverhampton (1:0), Arsenal (3:0) and Aston Villa (2:1). The victory over the Villans was just at the home arena, where Liverpool have been playing catastrophically lately. Prior to this successful result, the Reds lost six games in a row at Anfield, scoring just one goal.
