Liverpool
The Reds return to the ring in the Premier League with the intention of regaining the lead after having given advantages with the 2-2 draw with Manchester United on the previous day to remain on 71 points, the same as Arsenal, second with + 51 goal difference, while Manchester City now has 73 points and is at the top after beating Luton Town 5-1 on Saturday in matchday 33.
Those led by Klopp also need to shake off the 3-0 defeat that Atalanta gave them at Anfield in the UEFA Europa League match. In midweek they suffered that setback in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but there was joy in having Diogo Jota back, who played 20 minutes of the clash against Bergamo, while Trent Alexander-Arnold was on the bench. Both players are coming off delicate injuries.
Meanwhile, Alisson Becker also left his ailments behind and is “on his way back”, something that has not yet happened with Thiago Alcántara, Ben Doak and Joel Matip, the other casualties against the Águilas, who have “a new and good coach and is going well,” said Mac Allister, in addition to pointing out that “we have to react, we have an important game and we will try to win it.”
