All roads lead to Basel for Liverpool
Liverpool are going to play in the Europa League final in less than 11 days. It seems harsh therefore that they need to play 3 games and then the final. The only team left in a European competition that carries the Premier League flag has to play through a ruthless schedule before they can look to accomplish their season’s most important achievement.
The final at Basel is going to be Liverpool’s only way into the Champions League, the Reds cannot mathematically finish 4th anymore and thus must win the final to gatecrash Europe’s elite football party. The momentum though is firmly swinging them towards their goal.
Liverpool seem to possess the squad depth to move through this damaging schedule as they rolled out their B-team and picked up all 3 points against a well drilled Watford side.
One suspects, more A-teamers will make the line up against Chelsea in midweek before they take on West Bromwich Albion in their last EPL game for the season where one can again expect a similar lineup to today’s to take to the pitch.
The Anfield crowd is buzzing and a fiery traveling party is set to find their way to Basel for the big night. There’s momentum, positivity and a great buzz around this Liverpool side as they prepare to walk into the Swiss stadium with their entire season boiling down to one game.
