The Premier League is about to restart next month meaning the Liverpool fans and players can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief.

The Anfield outfit were agonisingly close to picking up their first-ever Premier League trophy when the matches were suspended and over the past two months, there have been fears of the 2019-20 season being declared null and void.

But now speaking on the possible reopening, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has claimed that all of his players are raring to go as soon as the league gets the green light from the government.

He told BBC Sport: “Football is a game where everyone is pretty much in the same situation we play against another team and we don’t have to be at our all-time best.

“We have to be at our best possible and that’s exactly the same for the other teams. Whenever we will start we will have had the same time for preparation and our job was always, and always will be, to use the situation you are in.

“We will be in as good a shape as possible.

“Lockdown has been as good as possible it’s not exactly what I want to do but it’s what we all have to do so we try to make the best of it.

“We are in close contact. We started 8 weeks ago and now you feel everyone is desperate to get back to a ‘new’ normal life. I have missed the boys the most because we have created a group there not only the boys but all the people at Melwood because we have a really good relationship and we became friends over the last four and a half years.

“We see each other pretty often with Zoom and those things but it’s still not the same and going back to Melwood and doing all the things we usually do is something I really miss.”

Right now, Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table having played one more game than Man City who occupy the second spot. So clearly, City do not have any chance of catching up with the league leaders right now.

On paper Liverpool still need a few points before they can officially be crowned the champions but Man City will not be too concerned with their remaining matches since they will not be able to defend their domestic title and are also banned from playing in the Champions League next season which means a top-four finish is not particularly required as well.
