KLOPP CAN NOW FEEL INTENSITY OF DERBY

Reds boss prepared for tough Goodison Park test, says game is super important’

- 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is looking forward to his last Merseyside derby as he rallies his players for their English Premier League clash at Everton on April 24.

The Reds head into the match at Goodison Park on the back of a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory over Fulham over the weekend, while the Toffees overcame relegation and threatened Nottingham Forest 2-0.

There are five matches left, and Klopp's men are still locked in a tight three-way battle for the Premier League title with holders Manchester City and Arsenal.

With City busy on FA Cup semifinal duty on April 20 when they beat Chelsea 1-0, Liverpool's win meant they moved up to second on 74 points and were tied with Arsenal.

But Mikel Arteta's Gunners, who took on Chelsea on April 23 after press time, could be on 77 points with four games remaining should they beat the Blues.

City, on 73 points, have played 32 times and take on Brighton & Hove Albion away on April 25. If Pep Guardiola's men win all their remaining matches, they will be crowned champions again.
