I FANCY REDS FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

-

were 3-0 down 10 mins later! Liverpool are back in the big time here for sure,” he said, after his side were turned over following another Mo Salah super show.

“But I think that they have more of a chance in the Champions’ League if I’m being honest, and the cups.

“I just think that Pep Guardiola (right) and his Manchester City team have that little bit more week in, week out in the league. I do think Liverpool are the most improved team with the signings Jurgen Klopp has made.”

Warnock added: “Heaven knows what happens if Klopp makes one or two for next season...

“They’ve all got their strengths . . . and we have certainly not had much luck with the fixture list – I think the FA must have done it!

“They are such good teams we are playing against. We did ever so well against City, and then we were 3-0 down 10 mins later!

“It was exactly the same against Liverpool, we gave ourselves a chance, but they were just too good.”

Liverpool were impressive as they consolidat­ed their position ahead of City, and Klopp was relieved to get to the top and give themselves breathing space before their giant clash at

Arsenal next weekend.

The German manager admitted: “Now we have time to recover.

“It’s the first time for a lot of the boys that they don’t play in three days’ time.

“We will use the time to recover and then prepare the Arsenal game next Saturday at the Emirates, which will be another nice challenge.”
