#5 A tough time ahead for the Reds
Trending
Currently sitting second on the Premier League table with the League Cup semi-final coming up, no Red wanted their team to travel over 250 miles for a replay in the 3rd round. Nevertheless, it happened.
Now in the space of fourteen days, Liverpool have to play two legs of the semi-final whilst going all the way to Plymouth for more football and the big game at Old Trafford with the replay just three days after it. Manchester United are just five points away from the Reds in the league and a loss there would not only put Liverpool’s title race into jeopardy but it would make the race for top 4 even tougher with all of their rivals on the Reds heels.
All in all, this was a must win game for Klopp’s men but it was not to be so. The manager will be only hoping that talisman Coutinho and captain Jordan Henderson are back soon.
