Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Southampton, combined with favourable results elsewhere, has fans dreaming of a top-four finish again. But do they really believe it is possible?
Goals from Sadio Mane and Thiago were enough to put a wasteful Saints side to the sword on Saturday night, following losses for Leicester and Tottenham earlier in the weekend.
Chelsea‘s 2-1 victory over Man City shortly before kickoff at Anfield was a blow, however, but three points for Liverpool has raised hopes of clinching a place in next season’s Champions League.
There were kernels of positivity in the Reds’ display, too, and with the return of supporters to Anfield edging closer, spirits are improving on Merseyside.
