They are seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who have played two more games. A win against Manchester City would be a significant boost to their hopes of securing a top-four finish and qualifying for next season’s Champions League.With Gakpo likely to be fit for the upcoming fixture, the Anfield faithful will be hoping that he can help propel the team to victory over their fierce rivals. Klopp will be counting on the young forward to deliver the goods as they seek to close the gap on the teams ahead of them in the table.
