Liverpool travelled to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday knowing that only a win would do in their quest to finish in the top four of the English Premier League this season.Thankfully for the travelling support that’s exactly what happened after a Roberto Firmino header gave them all three points in a hard fought victory over the Baggies.Jurgen Klopp’s side have turned around their early 2017 form and are now unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches.They’re hitting winning form again at a crucial moment of the league campaign. They have have just five matches left in the season and they’re all winnable. Pick up fifteen points and that should be enough to see off the threat of Manchester United, who continue to lurk in fifth with games in hand.While much of the negative talk about Liverpool this season has centred on their defence, this stat from Squawka shows that there’s at least one reliable partnership at the heart of the Reds backline.
When Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip start together then Jurgen Klopp’s side don’t lose matches.
It’s a partnership that now needs to continue to the end of the season. If they continue to provide a solid base for Liverpool the build on, UEFA Champions League football could be coming back to Anfield next season.
