With four games left, it would take a mountain of a miracle for Liverpool to clinch their second league crown in the Premier League era after the 2019–20 season.

But German tactician Klopp, who will leave at the end of the current campaign, has apologised for his side's dismal showing in such a crucial fixture, which had ramifications for their EPL ambitions.
