Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool’s astonishing European fightback proves his side will not give up hope of winning the Premier League until Manchester City have the trophy in their hands on Sunday. Klopp’s team staged arguably the greatest comeback in Champions League history on Tuesday when they thrashed Barcelona 4-0 to overturn a 3-0 semi-final first-leg deficit. With an all-English Champions League final against Tottenham set for June 1, Liverpool can pour all their energy into one last push to win their first English title since 1990. The Reds are one point behind leaders Manchester City heading into their final game of the season against Wolves at Anfield. City will retain the title if they win at Brighton but a draw or loss for Pep Guardiola’s men would open the door for Liverpool to be crowned champions if they defeat Wolves. Given Brighton’s lowly position, the odds are firmly on a City coronation, but Liverpool boss Klopp says this week’s astonishing Champions League drama showed anything can happen when the pressure mounts.

Please be patient, we apologise for any inconvenience.<doc-sep>Jurgen Klopp has made two changes to his starting lineup as Liverpool host Wolves on a final day of the Premier League that could end with a title triumph. Victory over today’s visitors and dropped points from Man City at Brighton would ensure the Reds’ first league title since 1990, and a first trophy under Klopp. It would be a remarkable feat if Liverpool pull it off, and Tuesday night’s 4-0 comeback win over Barcelona has fuelled spirits on Merseyside as hopes of another historic turnaround mount. Klopp has been forced to contend with a series of key absences of late, and as such his teamsheet for the season’s last game at Anfield is restricted. But regardless the Reds field a strong side, starting with Alisson at the back, with the Brazilian looking to trump countryman Ederson to the Golden Glove award with another clean sheet. Ahead of Alisson are Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, the Premier League‘s newly crowned Player of the Season Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, with the left-back passed fit after a calf injury. In midfield, Fabinho takes the holding role, joined by Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum. And with Roberto Firmino sidelined and resting for the Champions League final, Divock Origi has been named alongside Sadio Mane and the returning Mohamed Salah up front. Among Klopp’s substitutes are Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge, with plenty of firepower in reserve. Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mane, Origi Substitutes: Mignolet, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Sturridge Wolves: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Neves, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Jonny; Jimenez, Jota Substitutes: Ruddy, Vinagre, Kilman, Gibbs-White, Cavaleiro, Adama, Costa<doc-sep>Welcome to Sportstar's live blog of the final match day Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Wolves played at Anfield. 90' It's all over. Liverpool claim a 2-0 win but it won't be enough as the Reds finish as the best runners-up in Premier League history with 97 points. 88' Last change of the season for Liverpool, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain comes on for Wijnaldum. 87' Salah has a chance to power Liverpool to a more convincing 3-0 win, but his shot lacks venom and barely troubles the 'keeper. That goal could have led Salah to the Golden Boot as him, Mane and Aubameyang are currently tied on 22 goals. 84' Substitutions for both teams: Wolves' Moutinho and Jonny come off for Ruben Vinagre and Morgan Gibbs-White, while Liverpool's Andy Robertson is replaced by Joe Gomez. 81' That brings up Alexander-Arnold's 13th assist, the most by a defender in a single Premier League season. 81' GOAL NUMBER TWO FOR LIVERPOOL! Mane nods in Alexander-Arnold's cross to make it 2-0! 79' Change for Wolves: Adama Traore replaces Doherty. Cruel stat if you're a Liverpool fan - The last three times a Premier League team has been top on Christmas Day and not won the league has been Liverpool in 2008-09, 2013-14 and 2018-19 72' That has to be it! Ilkay Gundogan fires a phenomenal freekick from 30 yards out to put Manchester City 4-1 up against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. There's little Klopp's men can do now... 69' Fantastic save from Alisson! Doherty's clever dummy sees Jota in a great position with just the 'keeper to beat, but Wolves striker can't get past Alisson. Surely the best chance for Wolves thus far. 68' Sparring a couple of decent chances, Liverpool has struggled to seize control of this second half. Wolves have been all over the Reds defence, causing problems aplenty. 65' Uh oh, this doesn't look good for Liverpool. Riyad Mahrez, with a stunning strike, has just put Manchester City 3-1 up against Brighton. Follow that game here - Brighton vs Manchester City LIVE 65' First change of the evening: Origi comes off for James Milner. 63' What a chance for Origi! Mane's cross loops into the box and somehow finds Origi who volleys it, but can't find the target. 61' It appears that James Milner will be coming on soon. Any guesses on who he will replace? 60' Raul Jimenez has a go at goal from inside the box but skies his attempt into the top tier. Quite a selfish move from Jimenez considering that he had Doherty for support right beside him. 54' Terrific play from Wolves here. Jonny Castro latches on to Doherty teasing pass but Alexander-Arnold makes a crucial interception to block his shot. Wolves showing a lot more attacking intent now. 52' Wolves have made a very promising start to the second half. A couple of well-constructed moves sees the side make forays into the opposition box, but the finishing touch is just not there. 50' Two booking for Wolves in as many minutes. Bennett goes into the book for a foul on Mane, while Jota follows suit for a tackle on Fabinho. 48' How close was that? Salah wins a freekick on the edge of the box and ever single Wolves player is in the box to defend this one. Alexander-Arnold steps up to take the kick and raises his arm to indicate he's going to cross, but goes for the shot instead and manages to find the side-netting. 46' Liverpool shooting from right to left now as we head into the last 45 minutes of the season. Here are the other results at the half-time stage Burnley 0-0 Arsenal; Palace 3-1 Bournemouth; Fulham 0-2 Newcastle; Leicester 0-0 Chelsea; Man Utd 0-1 Cardiff; Southampton 1-0 Huddersfield; Spurs 1-0 Everton; Watford 0-2 West Ham. 45' That brings us to the end of a very, very entertaining first half. Liverpool leads Wolves 1-0 courtesy of Sadio Mane's 17th minute goal. But it won't be enough for the Reds to win the title as Manchester City enjoys a 2-1 lead over Brighton. 44' My word, how unlucky is Matt Doherty! He receives Jota pass Doherty sidefoots it towards the top corner, but is denied by the crossbar. Allison was beaten flat out. Unfortunate, unfortunate for the Wolves. 42' Salah is fouled at the edge of the box and he yells for a penalty, but ref Martin Atkinson says nothing doing. 37' Man City AHEAD! Laporte nods in Mahrez's corner and City now has a 2-1 lead. The noise around Anfield has suddenly dropped a few decibels. 34' Ambitious from Salah. Neves tries to clear a Liverpool corner and his header finds an unmarked Salah on the edge of the box. The Egyptian fires first-time volley but can't find the target. 30' Wolves are beginning show signs of some attacking intent now. They still haven't managed a single shot though. 27' Oh wait, it's all happening at the Amex Stadium! City comes up with a stunning reply as Sergio Aguero equalises for the defending champs. What a roller-coaster of an evening this is turning out to be! Follow that game here - Brighton vs Manchester City LIVE 26' There's a massive roar at Anfield and it turns our Brighton has taken the lead against City via Glenn Murray! 24' Some power on that one! Robertson lets one rip from distance and Rui Patricio makes a fantastic save to deny him. 21' Another stat for Mane: This was his 17th goal at home, only Messi (19) and Mbappe (19) have more goals at home in the top-5 leagues this season. 20' Liverpool surges ahead in a bid to double its lead, but I see as many as SEVEN yellow shirts in the box. Wolves doing all they can to prevent this potent Liverpool attack from extending its lead. 18' The goal takes Mane's tally for the season to 21, one behind team-mate Salah. Oh and Mane has gone past Sergio Aguero and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 17' GOAAAAAAAAAAAAL! MANE PUTS LIVERPOOL AHEAD 1-0! AS IT STANDS, LIVERPOOL WIN WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE!<doc-sep>

Few doubted that Liverpool could overcome Barcelona after a first-leg 3-0 defeat, however, a sensational 4-0 win ensured that the Reds made the Madrid final pushed on by a passionate crowd at Anfield. The Liverpool faithful will have to be in full spirits to push their side over the line and hope that Man City slip up on the south coast against Brighton. The visit of Wolves who have picked up more points against the top six aside from Man City & Liverpool will be a challenge for Klopp, especially with a number of key personnel out for the game. Liverpool will have to rally for one final push and follow the example of Captain Jordan Henderson who took a painkilling injection at half-time against Barcelona. In team news, having come off in midweek Andrew Robertson should be fit enough to return to the starting lineup. Mohamed Salah should have also recovered from the head injury he picked up against Newcastle. The game is too early for Roberto Firmino, so expect two-goal hero Divok Origi to start again in attack. Liverpool Predicted Team Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Milner; Mane, Origi, Salah Watch Online - beIN CONNECT Channel - 11HD Kick-Off -17:00 As for Wolves, they will be looking to get the better of Liverpool on what has been an impressive return to the Premier League. With already seventh place wrapped up, Nuno Espirito Santo will stress on his side to get a marquee result as they look to break into the top six next season. Wolves have enjoyed a strong finish to the season and are undefeated in their last four Premier League games. They still also have a change of getting a place in the Europa League should Manchester City get the better of Watford next weekend. Last time out, Wolves defeated already-relegated Fulham with a 1-0 win thanks to a goal from Belgian midfielder Leander Dendoncker. In team news, Espirito Santo is likely to give game time to third choice keeper Will Norris. Wolves are likely to keep the same team aside from the goalkeeper that beat Fulham, which would mean Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota should reprise their roles in midfield and attack respectively. Wolves Predicted Team Norris; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny; Jota, Jimenez It certainly promises to be a fascinating encounter as Liverpool look to win to pile the pressure on league leaders Man City and snatch the Premier League title at the last.
