Blood Red: Will Jurgen Klopp admit defeat in his Thiago experiment as race for a top-four finish intensifies

Following elimination from the Champions League, Liverpool have seven Premier League games left to secure qualification for next season’s top European competition. The first of those games sees Jurgen Klopp’s Reds travel to Elland Road to take on Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United, who are fresh from a win over Manchester City. So join Matt Addison, Paul Gorst, Joe Rimmer and David Lynch to preview that match and also discuss Thiago Alcantara’s omission from the midweek draw with Real Madrid, which saw Liverpool exit the Champions League, and ponder what it could mean for the midfielder's long-term future at Anfield. And as always, we finish off with our team selector and match prediction ahead of the visit to Elland Road. Enjoy.
