How many wins Liverpool need to complete dream Jurgen Klopp send-off
Jurgen Klopp has already secured some silverware on what is his last season in charge of Liverpool.
Just a month after announcing that this will be leaving his role at the end of the campaign, the German led the club to Carabao Cup victory.

Firstly, eyes are on league matters with the club currently sitting at the top of the table for what looks like it could be a close title race with Manchester City and Arsenal.
