Liverpool boss Klopp reveals what the outcome of the Manchester derby would be

- Jurgen Klopp will not be putting his hope on Man United ahead of the Manchester derby

- Pep Guardiola's side will play Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men in a blockbuster at Old Trafford

- Liverpool will be expecting the Red Devils to win or draw to hand them an opportunity

Jurgen Klopp is not relying on Manchester United getting a result against city rivals Manchester City in their midweek clash at Old Trafford.

Liverpool are looking to clinch their first Premier League title in 29 years but their hopes lie on their greatest rivals getting a result against City.

The Red Devils are the highest-placed team remaining for Pep Guardiola's side to play in the remaining three Premier League matches left.

But United who lost 4-0 to Everton at Goodison Park last weekend have now lost their last five matches in all competitions under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Speaking to Sky Sports after Liverpool's 2-0 win at Cardiff, Klopp was asked if he will be on the edge of his seat watching Wednesday's clash at Old Trafford.

"I think I'll be watching if there's nothing else to do,' he said. "Hopefully I can avoid that (shouting), we have no influence.

"It doesn't look like at the moment that Man Utd can really... what was the result today? 3-0? 4-0?

"So we'll see, City will be ready and we'll see if United are ready as well. It's a normal game, it's a game they have to play, we played there and had a draw.

"We had to play that game at Manchester United when they were in a much better moment. It was a 0-0.

"If United gets a point and whatever and we beat Huddersfield then go to Newcastle and even half think we have it, then we get a knock there, it's all difficult.

"We just have to stay focused on our things. That's what has worked really well so far and I don't see any reason why we should change that."

Liverpool are the top of the Premier League table by a point over City but have played a game more.

And a win for Guardiola's side would put them a point above Liverpool with both teams having three games remaining, but a draw would leave the Reds' fate in their own hands.

City will travel to Turf Moore to play Burnley, then host Leicester at the Etihad and play their last game of the season against Brighton.

Liverpool on the other hand, will host Huddersfield at Anfield, then play Newcastle away and end the season at home to Wolves.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
