Liverpool v Huddersfield City: Premier League – live! | Soccer

"Come, come Mr. Smyth" says Ian Copestake. "You take as much pleasure in killing the dream as me. But you know that football is never easy. Except when it is. Which is often not the case. This race is over when we say it's over. Losing at home against a relegated camp. D & # 39; agreement "?

Jurgen Klopp is convinced that finishing second with 97 points is not cool. Everyone connected to Liverpool has to struggle to escape the feeling that the title race is over.

If they had won one or the other match, they would now be three games of immortality.

Neither Liverpool nor Manchester City have lost points since, and that will not change tonight. Spoiler: Liverpool wins this match. They could well knock out Huddersfield and drastically reduce Manchester City's goal difference advantage, which is currently eight. But even a 482-0 win will be of no use unless City loses points in one of its last three games.

This preamble will look ridiculous if Manchester City fails to beat Burnley, Leicester or Brighton, and ridicule other human beings is the internet. All Liverpool can do is continue to take care of his business, as he has done for the last six games, and hope that Brendan Rodgers will give them a strong performance this weekend. It's not likely, but it's not impossible. It's not despair, Laura …
