Jurgen Klopp was happy on Wednesday night after comfortably beating Crystal Palace 4-0 and allowed himself the luxury of joking at the post-match press conference when asked about City's game tonight against Chelsea. If Guardiola's guys puncture, the reds can be champions automatically.
And that is what the Spanish coach said before the match at Stamford Bridge that he can go as a substitute for the Cup final that they have this Sunday (19:30) against Newcastle. “Pep says he's going to reserve players? I should go play poker. We are different and we cannot play like them, We can only be as good as they are and that is what we want ”he assured in Sky.
In fact, the German coach may not even see tonight's game. “I don't know if you will see it. I watched the last game until 3-0 and It was a waste of time. They are brilliant, an incredible team, “he says.
Following the victory against the Londoners, Liverpool leads the Premier League with 86 points after 28 wins, two draws and a single loss that will deprive Klopp of equaling Arsenal of the Invincibles in this historic season for those of Anfield.
