Jurgen Klopp fancies a deep run in the Europa League (Picture: Getty Images) intends to field a ‘top team’ in Liverpool’s matches, hoping to make it to the final on their return to the competition. The Reds finished fifth in the last season so missed out on qualification and return to the second tier of European football.
Liverpool’s focus will undoubtedly be on launching another Premier League title challenge, but Klopp insists he will be taking the Europa League very seriously as well. The German is hoping to reach the final, as Liverpool did in 2016 when they lost to Sevilla, and believes that his squad can produce a ‘top team’ on Thursdays and Sundays if they avoid too many injuries.
I think if we don’t get hit by an injury crisis then we should have enough players to field Thursday and Sunday a top team, and that’s pretty much the idea.’
