If the chance to move into a Champions League spot wasn’t enough of an incentive, Liverpool will also still have that 7-2 drubbing Aston Villa inflicted on them earlier this season fresh on their minds when they welcome them to Anfield later this afternoon.
Klopp has already thrown down the gauntlet to his players, saying they must ‘put things right’ by exacting revenge on a Villa side, who have their own ambitions of breaking into Europe.
Dean Smith’s side currently lie in ninth but are only five points off a potential Europa League place and will give themselves a huge boost in their efforts to finish in the top six if they can spring another surprise today.
