Klopp calm in top-four fight
joining from Charlton in 2015, missing eight months after rupturing his cruciate ligament and another four with an Achilles problem.
Gomez has however enjoyed a clear run since, making his England debut in 2017 against Germany and playing twice for Gareth Southgate since, while also figuring 23 times for his club this term.
Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not at all surprised his side’s quest to secure a top-four spot seems likely to come down to the final day.
Defeat by Chelsea on Sunday, following damaging draws with Stoke and West Brom, has taken the race for Champions League football into the last week of the season.
Unless Huddersfield can pull off a surprise win at Stamford Bridge tonight, Liverpool will head into Sunday’s home game against Brighton knowing they must match Chelsea’s result against Newcastle.
Should they fail, their last chance of qualifying for the Champions League would be beating Real Madrid in the final.
“We always make it a bit more exciting,” said Klopp. “But it’s all OK, as long as we have it in our own hands, life is good.” LEICESTER winger Marc Albrighton will miss the rest of the season after accepting an FA misconduct charge following his red card at Crystal Palace.
Albrighton, right, was sent off during a 5-0 defeat at Selhurst Park last month, reacting angrily to referee Mike Dean. He will serve a two-match ban and miss the Foxes’ final two games.
