“To be honest any time you step out for this team you are playing to prove you should be involved in the next game, whatever that game is”.

The Anfield outfit now lie in eighth place with two games remaining-five points back from fifth-placed Manchester United-and they have May 18’s UEFA Europa League final to think about against Sevilla in Basel.
“I want us to be really consistent in all the games”.
“With Hendo, it’s really good news”, Klopp added. The 25-year-old captain is a regular fixture in the midfield at Anfield, but has been sidelined since damaging the lateral collateral ligament in his knee during the first-half of last month’s Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Borussia Dortmund in North-Rhine Westphalia.

“Whether it would’ve been the last game that’s not up to me”.

Chelsea are unbeaten at Anfield in their last four visits, winning two and drawing two, but given their current form and season it wouldn’t be a surprise if that run came to an end here.
