Liverpool give Jurgen Klopp key tactical hint for Premier League run-in

The Reds continued to keep the pressure on Newcastle despite that early goal, with Jota, Mane and Salah all having chances as the hosts registered 11 first-half shots.

Though Klopp may be concerned that his side wasted so many chances, with Mane in particular spurning several gilt-edged opportunities, he will have been pleased with the creative output.

And it is that offensive play that will be crucial if Liverpool are to pick up the wins they need to secure Champions League football for next season.

Burnley, West Brom and Crystal Palace will all seek to set up a deep defensive block and limit the number of opportunities the Reds have on goal.
