Summary

Jurgen Klopp was back in front of the media at Melwood to preview Sunday’s trip to Cardiff City and talk much more else besides. Klopp’s double-chasing side will lift at least one of the two trophies they are chasing if they win their final seven games of the season, and the Liverpool manager is asked what it’s like to be in that position, how he keeps his players relaxed, and how they train at such an intense stage of the campaign. Klopp is also questioned about the damage done to Manchester City following their dramatic Champions League exit as well as providing a fitness update on Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Dejan Lovren. The Reds boss also has praise for Tottenham Hotspur – City’s conquerors in midweek – and for Mohamed Salah after his selection by Time magazine as one of the most 100 influential people in the world. And of course there was a little bit about the game, too, and the biggest danger relegation-battling Cardiff pose.
