Jurgen Klopp confirmed in his post-match presser, as relayed on X (formerly Twitter) by Ian Doyle, that Ibrahima Konate ‘has a good chance’ of making the Reds’ FA Cup clash with Manchester United.

Klopp lists things he admires in Pep Guardiola

The Frenchman had not been included in the matchday squad to face Pep Guardiola’s outfit after incurring an issue against Sparta Prague.

The former RB Leipzig star had appeared to suffer a muscle injury during the 5-1 win. Fortunately, it would seem the problem is far from being as severe as first feared.

Excellent Liverpool injury news from Klopp

To have survived, nay, properly contested a meeting with the incumbent champions and come out with a point and positive news of Konate’s availability is some result.

A quick word of praise for Jarell Quansah can’t go amiss in all of this either. Virgil van Dijk rightly praised his centre-back partner for a composed display at Anfield in a game of such intensity.

That said, we’ll be more than pleased to see our other first-choice centre-half get back in the side for the run-in.

It’s promising to be an all-action finish in May! Buckle up, as Daniel Sturridge would say!

Peter Drury shares what the VAR official said after Jeremy Doku’s tackle in the last minute vs Liverpool

Peter Drury has now shared what the VAR officials said when Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku tackled Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister late on today.

Although the game ended in a draw, Mac Allister and his teammates seemed incensed that they weren’t awarded a late penalty for a high challenge.

Jeremy Doku appeared to make contact with the ball first but then followed through to place his boot on the Liverpool midfielder’s chest.

And although VAR checked the incident, they decided there wasn’t sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision of no penalty.
