#5 Better performances against the top six teams

Liverpool v Manchester United - Premier League
Jurgen Klopp needs to get his tactics right against the Top Six this season

One of the key factors in winning the Premier League title is making sure you perform your best against the Top Six in the league. Last season, Liverpool lost five matches in total and drew 12 out of the 38 matches. Out of their 10 matches with the teams in the Top Six, Liverpool lost four and drew four of them.

They only managed to win twice, once against Arsenal and once against the Champions Manchester City. It has to be said that Liverpool’s performance against the Top six teams was one of the reasons why they couldn't quite challenge last season.

This has to get better for the Reds this season. Jurgen Klopp has always opted for an attacking style of play but sometimes it is necessary to have a cautious approach which has lacked in some of his Cup Finals and crucial games against the top sides.

Liverpool and Klopp need to smartly handle the matches when they face sides from the top six to make sure they don’t drop significant points. If Klopp and his men can beat the brutal Manchester City side of last season, they are capable of beating any team and they have to be totally focused on winning each of the games against the top six teams to give a strong fight for the Premier League title this season.
