Liverpool have not yet given up on the dream of winning all four possible titles. Having already lifted the League Cup and English Cup, on Sunday she will pray for Manchester City’s loss against Aston Villa and at the same time will have to beat Wolves to celebrate a Premier League final round championship (18:00, live broadcasts on Sport1’s channel package).
Jürgen Klopp, of course, is aware that the fate of the championship depends on Manchester City and does not hide it, but is also not willing to give up the season so quickly. To Klopp’s delight, certainly ahead of next Saturday’s Champions League final in Paris against Real Madrid, today (Friday) Virgil Van Dyke and Muhammad Salah returned to training. Fabinho, who is likely to miss on Sunday a reminder of his injury against Aston Villa, is expected to be fit and open in the squad as planned in the Champions League final against the Blancos in eight days.

At a press conference ahead of the game against Wolves earlier this week, Klopp confirmed: “Van Dyke, Salah and Fabino are looking good, but I still do not know what to do with them on Sunday. “I’ll endanger him. There’s no doubt that ‘Mo’ doesn’t want to take a risk either. Maybe I can take them off the bench, but I can not confirm one hundred percent that they will play first.”
Another manager who showed up for a press conference today is Steven Gerrard, currently the Aston Villa coach and in his day as an active player Liverpool’s biggest icon. Gerard, who along with his side could decide the fate of the championship and help Liverpool win it if it astonishes the leader and champions at home, was asked if the club would receive £ 15m if Manchester City won the championship, as part of a move by Jack Grillish to the Citizens. In the summer: “We will do everything to win, it’s disappointing that people treat me and my players as dishonest people. “My goal is to help Aston Villa win, but if I can help Liverpool along the way, that’s fantastic.”
