It was the first fixture of premier league matchday 36, as Liverpool who are fighting and pushing for their first premier league title, hosted relegated Huddersfield for a chance to reclaim top spot, a game that ended in annihilation by reds as they reclaim top spot.
Liverpool are having a great season so far, unarguably their best season under Klopp. They are very close to winning the title that they have craved for so many years but will be needing the help of any of the teams in the Man City fixture, to upset City. This fixture against Huddersfield was a very tricky one for them, but they ensured that they turn the pressure over to Man City, hoping that the at least drop points.
Huddersfield has been very poor this season, and their result against Liverpool showed once again the season so far and why they have been relegated. It was always going to be difficult to play Liverpool at Anfield especially at this critical moment for them, but losing in the manner that they did showed why they’ve been so poor this season.
