Liverpool’s draw ‘felt quite average’ – Klopp

-

LIVERPOOL top Group E and a win against Sevilla in Spain tonight will see them qualify for the knockout stages with a match to spare.

However, their hosts have an impressive home record and have not lost at the Sanchez Pizjuan since November last year.

“In the group stage you cannot choose where you get the points from, but when you get to the end, the more decisive games are,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is still frustrated at dropping two points at home to the Spaniards due to a late equaliser back in September.

“It felt quite average when we conceded a goal at home to Sevilla (to draw 2-2) and if we had not conceded this goal the situation would have been even better.”

Feyenoord, thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City in in the Cham- pions League in September in Group F, face another daunting clash with the Premier League leaders at the Etihad Stadium.

City are unbeaten in 18 games in all competitio­ns this season and have won their last 16 in succession. They have already secured a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League with four wins from four while Feyenoord are yet to register a point.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says he may rest players against Borussia Dortmund in group H, but said former Leeds Un8ited academy player Danny Rose is in contention to start.

Spurs have already qualified for the Champions League last 16 and need only one victory from their two remaining games to progress as winners of the group.

It means Pochettino is likely to take the chance to rotate his lineup.
