Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher recently weighed in ahead of the Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on January 19, 2023 in Manchester, England. Carragher believes it is still unlikely that Liverpool will finish in the top four this season despite their impressive win over Everton on Monday night. Liverpool won the Merseyside derby at Anfield 2-0, and have moved up to ninth in the table, but they still lie nine points off the top four. Carragher thinks that Saturday’s trip to Newcastle will prove decisive for Liverpool’s top four hopes and believes it is a ‘big outside chance’ for them to make top four.
Liverpool are out of the running for the league title and are out of both domestic cup competitions, leaving many to believe Klopp must go all-in to win the Champions League. Doing so would not only secure some silverware, but would also qualify them for the competition next season regardless of their league position. However, winning the UCL will be far from easy with the Reds set to take on Real Madrid, who beat them in last year’s final, in the round of 16 next week.
