DBasia.news – Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp won’t conceited even though the team lead the table during Christmas. Klopp thinks the title race for 2018-2019 Premier League is wide open for any club.
Liverpool are enjoying the leading position after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 18th-week of Premier League.
However, Klopp thinks some top teams have the similar chance to be the champion. Klopp thinks Liverpool need at least 105 points to be the best.
“I don’t know how much we need, how many any team needs this year,” Klopp said.
“What is really different – because everybody asks me about the situation, first in the table and all that stuff – somebody said that the last four times the team that was first in the table at Christmas won the league, but was it ever such a tight race?” Klopp emphasized.
“I think if all the other boys (Tottenham and Chelsea) win 2-0 when they play, then I think three or four teams will have more than 40 points at Christmas, that is really exceptional,” the manager added.
Generally, the club who achieved the record would win the Premier League. In 26 recent matches, 14 teams who lead the table during Christmas would close the season as the champion.
In detail, from 8 of 9 recent seasons, the club who led the table during Christmas won the competition. Interestingly, the only club who failed to do that was Liverpool in the 2013-2014 season.
