Klopp 5-1 to exit potless after Saints shocker

ANOTHER trophy slipped out of Jurgen Klopp’s grasp on Wednesday and he is 5-1 with bet365 to leave Liverpool without bringing silverware to Anfield.

Klopp could only watch on in horror as Southampton recorded a 1-0 semi-final second -leg win on Merseyside to progress through to the EFL Cup final 2-0 on aggregate.

It was Klopp’s third near-miss with the Reds having lost the League Cup and Europa League finals last season.

The German is tied to Liverpool until 2022, although he is certain to be mentioned as a frontrunner when the Bayern Munich job next becomes available so he should not be considered nailed-on to remain at Liverpool for several years.

However, Hills go 7-1 Klopp exits before the start of next term.

Southampton are 2-1 to win the EFL Cup and will meet Manchester United or Hull in next month's final with the Red Devils leading 2-0 from the first leg.

Liverpool get another chance to go on the trophy trail in the FA Cup with Wolves visiting Anfield on Saturday with a potential 11 Premier League teams capable of progressing through to the last 16.
BoyleSports are offering 16-1 all 11 get through to the fifth round, starting with Leicester who are at Derby on Friday.

FA Cup favourites Chelsea host Brentford on Saturday and they could soon be losing reserve keeper Asmir Begovic, who is 1-3 with Hills to head to Bournemouth in January.

The Blues are 5-6 to sign Celtic’s Craig Gordon and the Scottish stopper is the same price to remain with the Ladbrokes Premiership outfit.
