Invincibles: Liverpool and Klopp deserve to finish Premier League season as invincibles

Liverpool are going to win their 1st PL trophy in 30 years, it has to be special! And what could be more special than winning the first PL trophy as a golden one? Yes, if any team finishes the season as invincibles, they get a special gold version of Premier League trophy. Only Arsenal have managed to get their hands on that special trophy in 2004, when Arsene Wenger's marvelous team finished the whole season unbeaten, with 26 wins & 12 draws. Well Liverpool are lot more stupendous than that as they already have won 26 matches out of 27 they played, and drew just one! They already have 79 points out of 81 available, and need just 4 more victories to be assured Premier League Champions.

Invincible Trophy - Gold version of Premier League Trophy

After 5 years of continuous hard work & reshaping the Liverpool team, and heart-breaking whopping 97-points Premier League season last year, Jurgon Klopp deserves the Invincible title for his unbelievable efforts & passion for game. Klopp very well knows & understands the importance of going undefeated as Arsene Wenger is always praised & remembered as one of the best managers for his miraculous season in 2004. Klopp would like to be honored the same same way as he has been really passionate & dedicated to take Liverpool to the pinnacle. He never gives up! Finally winning Champions League Trophy in 2019 after failing twice in 2013 & 2018, is one of the example that he never backs down. Another incredible example to be considered is not to lose hopes is unable to win Premier League title even after having unbelievable 97 points and still fighting back the very next season & making sure to get at-least 100 points this time, so that no team could catch them up! No doubt why everyone loves him.

Premier League 2019-20 Table after 27 Matches played

Well it may sound way simpler to think about finishing invincible, but actually it's hell lot tougher than that. We saw that in the breathtaking game against West Ham at Anfield, right. Liverpool made a crucial comeback in the dying stages of the match. Well they may require to do the same a few more times in the remaining fixtures as well. Even though Liverpool have already done an incredible job till now by remaining undefeated for 27 games, there is still a mountain to climb! There are still 11 games remaining which has 4 to 5 key fixtures that might hurt Klopp's dream to continue an astonishing unbeaten run.

Here are few tough fixtures for Liverpool to look at to keep their unbeatable record intact as follows:

1. Manchester City vs. Liverpool, 5th April, 2020: Remember ManCity's outrageous 2017-18 season with 18 Premier League wins in a row & invincibility until 14th Jan, 2018? When Pep Guardiola along with ManCity fantasized for Invincible but Liverpool shattered all those aspirations in one of the best Premier League performances by beating the blues 4-3 at Anfield. Yes, you remember, everybody remembers! Well, what could be the better opportunity for Guardiola & ManCity players to take revenge from the men in reds? And Guardiola won't miss this chance to beat his arch rival manager, Klopp. It's always difficult for any team to play against in-form ManCity, specially at Etihad & now Laporte is also back from injury. No doubt this fixture is the most important one for Liverpool to avoid losing to keep their invincible record intact.

2. Arsenal vs. Liverpool, 2nd May, 2020: Another problematic fixture is to play away at Arsenal. Well you may think that Liverpool should easily beat under-performing Arsenal which they have done in last couple of years, but this time it's different. Well, Arsenal & their fans have just one thing to boast about from last one & a half decade - that they are the only team to finish as Invincibles in Premier League! Clearly Arsenal will do anything to preserve that record. They may play this game as they are playing for their lives which will make this particular fixture extremely difficult for Liverpool to get past by. Also, Arsenal are showing some good form recently as they are unbeaten in 2020 under Mikel Arteta.

3. Everton vs. Liverpool, 16th March, 2020: The derby games are always electrifying & Merseyside derby is one of the fiercest rivalry in the country. No other team (except Manchester United) would dis-relish more than Everton to see their local rivals honored with Invincible title. Also, Everton have been showing incredible form lately under their new manager, Carlo Ancelotti. Derby games are always unpredictable, & this will be really tough fixture for Liverpool to play at Goodison Park, as Liverpool have managed to win just 1 game (in 2016) at Goodison Park since 2011.

4. Liverpool vs. Chelsea, 9th May, 2020: Well this game is comparatively less onerous as compared to the above three, as this game is a home fixture at Anfield. Still, Chelsea are the one of the dangerous teams to play in the division as they are fighting to finish in a top 4 position. Also this fixture is scheduled in the 37th Game week so it can be crucial & must win game for Chelsea to finish in top 4 given that Spurs & Man United are also trying hard for the Champions League spot! Liverpool need to this fixture carefully as 6 years ago, the same fixture shattered Liverpool's dream to win 1st Premier League in 2014, when Chelsea beat Liverpool in infamous 2-0 victory at Anfield.

Other than these 4 games, Liverpool have to play Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa & Burnley at home and Watford, Brighton & Hove Albion & Newcastle United in away fixtures. Out of which away game at Newcastle could be a tricky one on final day of Premier League season as it's never that easy to play at St James' Park.
