these are the nights that liverpool that far.rive, the players are eager to get started. within five minutes, kate to that the host at the open at the opener was helped by a deflection, the second was perfection. captain visitors out, bartel. however they may have been grateful to the officials later on when this went unpunished. the report let one fight in the champions league semifinals. liverpool has made 2—0 at the home european type is not seven times, they have never been knocked out. they were go to portugal. speaking after the game they state that ty is still alive. at 2-0, i think they state that ty is still alive. at 2—0, i think liverpool but had liked at slightly better condition. with the liverpool now turning their attention to chelsea's visit, that is not much more and exciting time to bea is not much more and exciting time to be a liverpool fan. wednesday's ties are pretty mouthwatering too with manchester united and barcelona renewing a rivalry that most recently included two champions league finals. barca won in

and liverpool have been here before.a draw at crystal palace in 2014 enough to hand manchester city the trevi —— defeat to chelsea. brendan rodgers was the man at the helm for ring —— for liverpool that year. leicester host liverpool a week on monday and how the reds would love a favour from an old friend. so liverpool face the prospect of not winning the title despite only one defeat — to city — all season. a cruel blow for a side looking for their first league title since 1990. so we sent our reporter juliette ferrington to find out how the red half of the city is feeling about the title race. jurgen klopp has been very consistent that liverpool should only worry about events they can control themselves. he has been ramming home that message to the players, just take care of your own business, this liverpool team have proved adept at doing that with nine straight wins in all competitions. they still need a favour from elsewhere to get over the line in this premier league title race but i thinkjurgen klopp doesn't want

liverpool as the firm favourites.ke has been speaking in the build—up to this game and he says the key thing for liverpool is not to be complacent. they don't want to experience what they experienced last year so they will try and do everything to not let that happen. i think the most important thing for us is like what we always do, focus on ourselves, but obviously remember what we are going to face, a very tough team and that's the mindset, i think. david, liverpool fans and players obviously getting very excited with their hopes in the league this season. i guess as long as they are still in europe there is a danger it could derail them from the number one priority, which is winning the league title this season. it really is and that would be for the first time since 1990, so the focus is firmly on that. liverpool are two points clear at the top of the premier league. however, i don't think it will be a major distraction for them. from people i have spoken to, they seem to see the champions league run this season

andy swiss reports. # liverpool, liverpool, liverpool...have not guested. liverpool fans in bullish mood hoping for a win to ramp up the pressure on rivals manchester city. and the hosts could afford to be confident. their opponents, huddersfield, are rock bottom of the table. surely even they couldn't have dreamt of a start quite like this. liverpool ahead after just 15 seconds. blink and you missed it but keita didn't mind and neither did his manager. jurgen klopp soon had plenty more to celebrate as his players made it look oh, is so simple. the second courtesy of mane and whenjust simple. the second courtesy of mane and when just before the break salah added a sumptuous third, any lingering anfield nerves had long since vanished. surely it was now just a case of how many, and while liverpool weren't quite at their best they didn't need to be. robertson with his second of the night as his side coasted to the most comfortable of winds. it was just what anfield had hoped for and it was rounded off by salah. a 5—0 thumping and for now at le

they trail liverpool by just 7a points, and really if liverpool don't come away with three points itbiggest shocks of this whole season. you're in club certainly yesterday when he was speaking to the media said he was very calm. he had watched the game to matches —— the game between manchester united and manchester city, hoping manchester united would do liverpool a favour. they did not and he said he was not surprised about that. we don't only play for being champion at the end of the season. it's a big target. this chimes, and we are pretty close in the moment and we still are at the door to see what happens at the end of the season, but it will... is not the first time, not the last time. the clu b first time, not the last time. the club is waiting for a long time, the people are waiting. it's already rather surprising because last year, we we re 25 rather surprising because last year, we were 25 points behind. this almost feels like the two clubs... how do you think liverpool fa ns clubs... how do you think liverpool fans will rate this season if they finish on 97 points and do n

of liverpool and you go again liverpool strength vandyke use phenomenal and then every game. ok not everyone but here here here and not here here here here not here feet mean or saddam out there they score and they score and they score tell me a game where a. silent film in a while they're all sweet together be didn't score is very rare i agree totally with you again when you say for example we cannot plea like a city in the in the in the premier league. i don't know if you want to say we can't or if you want to say i don't want because that's also a possibility it's also possible that you are going to say is this is not my football this is my football and this is the way i want my teams to play and the reality is that liverpool year left season they played the final and this season they are in the semifinals. we'd in my opinion fifty percent chances of being in the photo on the better side than last year if you think liverpool i think so acing they're better i would say bar so we've got messi old city liverpool favorite right but what is so with messi in messi is messi i don

like liverpool are already in the semifinal, because they had seen this liverpool do the business in it really tight and nicking a goal, there is lots of confidence in the squad, because they had ta ken confidence in the squad, because they had taken nothing for granted this season. with a 2-0 this season. with a 2—0 lead to going into the second leg, i imagine the fans are feeling confident. what is the atmosphere like? jovial, as it a lwa ys atmosphere like? jovial, as it always is when liverpool supporters come to europe. it is raining in porto but the banners are up and the volume has not ceased. as kick—off gets closer i expect the atmosphere to ramp up. in this competition liverpool are synonymous with each other, i think the fans really take to that and the special atmosphere they create around games, jurgen klopp reference that it costs a lot to travel to europe and follow the tea m to travel to europe and follow the team around and yet the supporters keep doing it. they do notjust come along, they add to the entire environment. we spoke about the atmosphere that i think the

liverpool remember already have more points than they've ever won before in the premier league.this is the equation which if you're a fan of these sides you'll know off by heart by now. the three remaining fixtures for these sides in the home straight for the title. city with two away games and 10th place leicester to come to the etihad, liverpool with two home games and who finish at home to wolves. with the way these sides are playing you'd expect both of those sides to take maximum points — in that case this is how the table would look on may 12. you can see liverpool in second place would finish on 97 points that would be the third most in premier league history behind city's centurions last season, and city on 98 points potentially this season. onlyjose mourinho's chelsea side has got close to a figure like that and they won the league by 12 points that season. now if we go back to this potential premer league table — you can also see that liverpool would finish second but with just one defeat — you might remember where that defeat came, it was at the etihad back in january

matches you would expect them both city and liverpool to win.ity still very much the favourites for this premier league title. —— manchester city, and pressure make strange things happening and liverpool hope there area happening and liverpool hope there are a few more twists and turns in this enthralling title race. of course they will. thank you for joining us from enfield park. plenty more coming up, including a bizzare incident at the formula 1, but first, a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories. england's danny rose says uefa's decision to force montenegro to play their next home match behind closed doors is not a harsh enough punishment. it's after their home fans racially abused several england players last month in a euro 2020 qualifying game. bolton players have said they won't play their final two championship games of the season unless they receive their unpaid wages. players still haven't been paid their march salaries, with april's due next week. england cricketer alex hales has been suspended following an "off—field

liverpool have won their last ten matches in all the competition.ere is bound to be goes. rebecca firmino was able to train before he flew to barcelona. as for barcelona, they have continual and suarez. and of course, the irrepressible, sometimes unstoppable, leonel messi. so it's a real challenge for liverpool, a ground well they have never lost, the only english club to have won here in european competition against barcelona but it's all about making sure the tie is still alive to go to anfield next week. this match you will be able to hear on five live with full commentary from inside your new camp. what a night in-store tomorrow night, and what a night in—store at the tottenham hotspur stadium. fernando llorente will start for totte n ha m fernando llorente will start for tottenham in the absence of son heung—min and harry kane. it looks like danny rose will be playing in midfield. moussa sissoko, returning from injury, starts on the bench. it will be a huge night for tottenham. what can they suggest? matias de ligt at the heart of the ajax defe

also coming up tonight he led liverpool to a heart breaking the waltz once before this time around coach you're going to pull up plans to take his team to victory and he tells d w how he's going to do this all so many games. because i will play them in a competitive game and. amenities i was a failing by doing it that's how it is because it's just so good and i always thought it would be interesting to try to sort of. well to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all the around the world welcome we begin the day with the end of an emperor's raid today inside tokyo's imperial palace japan's imper hito formally step down he's the first japanese emperor to abdicate in more than two hundred years but two centuries are just a blink of an eye in japan's along royal history according to legend the first monarch ascent of the throne in six sixty b.c. the hereditary line has never been broken meaning emperor akihito was the one hundred twenty fifth monarch of the same royal family to occupy the chrysanthemum throw. a simple ten minute ceremony and during a thirty year vein and breaking w

to see liverpool from about it is also one of the best spots to try the local liverpool dish which is a lens to you called galleries. and funny cide not people of liverpool actually referred to as gaza's because of this dish. no time to introduce you to deal turn of sights of liverpool and put this. i met up with david and jack at the ball of the triangle which is kind of coronary in liverpool now where it's so the so the place that they like to go filtering through the woods to send someone off on such strong just prefer that i chremes of hope like you have qualities as well it's a great place. and the visit to it's there without having a proper coffee so we get it right which is a coffee and a bike shop. as much as live a listen only for the people it isn't on. here and you can feel the road home on the liverpool football club to the stadium so. it's nice to see the stadium on the tool but you know with myself. and the match. it was sam i was in it i know your thoughts and it would be my local today i love you watching the games and a lot of going to say what does it mean to me and

liverpool ok man city. with that slender one goal advantage. and that's really really really really hard. but. i would say city. city but i have made adults. i say simply i say simply because you want me to say yes i always did because i know that i'd start every show i know but really really hard because because god alone can perfectly do it ok eventis all i accidentally find balance you ventas barcelona all matched united. but on. and previously you did hint that the classic find would be events against barcelona would you still go with that. you know. muscle injury venters they have little advantage. for so long as winning one meal and not plays at home you venters . draw with goals another playing at home they're a little advantage but there's also a i wouldn't be surprised if one of them or both they stay they stay behind but you know. the semifinals are semifinals and. the we know of barcelona. manchester united is going to play against liverpool or portals will. be so different isn't it difficult and

i think obviously liverpool. they have the team the perfect team probably to all score of all in the country in import to have a. mentally very strong big tradition at home experience in the champions league amazing fans. they still have and given that befalls that they gave i mean you wouldn't say the dead and buried because they did have their chances to they had their chances liverpool is a difficult place to play i think they tried to work that and they lost a little bit of their identity because normally they're going to play the way they did but i think we will pull this is now in the in a very good position a position that for them is very comfortable because they become a go to porto and in contrast there are groups of all these first guys in in attack they can go there and score. is lot is and the penalty because. you know for christian or to score a good goal in the champions the is normal when the united. barcelona match theirs and give me and the single special so i sing that moment is the moment beca

liverpool chelsea in the premier league i think is a big one for many reasons liverpool will be have to win every match until the end of the season and wait for man city to lose a couple of points so it is a must win for liverpool. at the same time. chelsea needs points to have smelling. spurs is the. are some in spite of their last defeat they're also there and chelsea need spines is a must a must win for both and to add something more to the game. liverpool's almost winning the title was chelsea that spoiled the celebration at anfield so i'm pretty sure that people has has that in mind so for me that's that's the big game of. of the week and on the on the french league and normally parties are much should should be in the end but that'll be the they should the last weekend but now they play against. the seconds and draw will make them make them champions of course in the blues leave every match and all that plays by and bottles to the argument is a must win because they're separated by a point and the end of the title is is there is there for them a part of that in spain will have

liverpool managerjurgen klopp thinks the whole liverpool team deserved to be chosen.eam is the team of the season for me my team is the team of the season anyway, for me my team is the team of the season anyway, so for me my team is the team of the season anyway, so that's true because there could have been from my point of view, a56 seven more players involved because they played outstanding seasons, and many more moments but of course the players is not primarily make the standard decision so it's the oddest one in the air. manchester city and liverpool may be battling it out for the premier league title but tonight their under 18's were bidding for glory in the fa youth cup final. and things were just as tight as with the senior teens. it ended one all after extra time and liverpool won it 5—3 on penalties with captain paul glat—zell scoring the winning spot kick at city's academy ground. rangers might have ended up second best to celtic in the scottish premiership, but their youngsters got one over their glasgow rivals to win the scottish fa youth cup. nathan youn

two one that cut liverpool's lead which was seven points down to four and since then both teams have won of course nearly all of their matches not not quite all i we now have the position where it's in manchester city's hands and it could be extraordinary the city ending up with ninety eight points liverpool could end up with ninety seven there's never been a title vice quite like that with got so many points what about the situation in the predicament for manchester united fans now of course the starting point is they want to win they want to beat their wives manchester city they need points to try to get in the top four qualify for the champions league but doing liverpool a favor sometimes it's misunderstood just how bitter their wives are we is between liverpool and manchester united it was deeper than the united city wide awake and united finds really won't want to do liverpool in five years it's such a big match for united as you mentioned their manager legalists o'shea was flying high for so long not looking so good anymore. it's an intriguing situation where the gun is so shot

liverpool ok man city. with that slender one goal advantage. and that's really really really really hard. but. i would say city. city but i have made it out. i.c.c. to get i.c.c. because you want me to say yeah right on as difficult i know and i'd start every show i know but really really because because tottenham can perfectly do it ok eventis all i accept is a fine balance you ventus barcelona well matched united but on. and previously you did hint that the classic find would be events against barcelona would you still go with that. you know or. muscle injury venters they have little advantage. or so long as winning one meal and not plays at home you venters . draw with goals another playing at home there is three they stay behind but you know. in the semifinals are semifinals and. the we know of barcelona. manchester another is going to play against liverpool more portals will. be so different isn't it difficult. the way in that of city top known as we were saying is an english team that reaches a semi f

lloris, lloris's gift to liverpool was the back page headline in the times this morning. season for spurs, and for one pundit this one could be the final straw. i think he's had a difficult couple of seasons, i don't think it's one season. he's 32 years of age, he has a world cup winner, he was at the clu b a world cup winner, he was at the club when i was there in 2012, and he should be at the peak of his powers. if anything he looks more nervous than he did when we turned up nervous than he did when we turned up at the club, and we go through it as players. it is a decision i feel the need to be made to ensure, they have got to get over the line. so jermaine jenas calling for spurs to show a ruthless streak in their team selection when it comes to lloris, jenas points to the positive performance of their sub keeper paulo gazzaniga, who's got appearances mainly in the cup competitions this season. forjenas he should get the nod for their next match, the problem is that one is historic for spurs, the first in their new stadium on wednesday night and one that the long—serv

their afternoon went from bad to worse, a penalty to liverpool.r was as reliable as ever from the spot. the reds rising back to the premier league summit, and still in contention for a first title in 29 yea rs. knocked out of europe in midweek, manchester united's sole focus is now to finish in the top four. but those hopes were dented by an abject display that saw everton condemn them to a sixth defeat in eight. the job facing ole gunnar solskjaer looks bigger by the game. i think everyone here can say with hands on their heart that that is nowhere near good enough, that is not a united team. the manager, the staff and the players know that. we apologise again to the fans but we promise we are going to come out on wednesday and do what we can to give them a performance. there was another big result too in the race for the top four. arsenal had a great chance to move above tottenham and into third. but they were beaten 3—2 at home by crystal palace. mesut ozil equalised after christian benteke opened the scoring. but palace made it 3—1 with goals
