Jurgen Klopp could make four Liverpool changes for Fulham after last-gasp Tottenham escape

The Reds have won their last four matches, but they saw a three-goal lead slip against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday before Diogo Jota bagged a stoppage-time winner

Rather belatedly, Liverpool have hit their best form of the season.

The Reds did win four Premier League games on the spin between November and December last year, but there was a rather big month-long event in Qatar in the middle of those and so any sense of real progress was lost.

As was the next game at Brentford.Now though, with the end of the campaign in sight and successive wins against Leeds, Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Tottenham in the bag, there is a sense that a corner has been turned and the gaze is forwards, not back.

All of this is probably coming too late to salvage a top four place of course, but Jurgen Klopp will see it as being very important to finish this most disjointed of seasons strongly in order to bounce into the next one feeling good. Or at least feeling better than everyone has been for much of the campaign.

What is likely to please the German most of late is that, after smashing six past Leeds, the Reds found themselves facing adversity in their most recent three matches – twice being pegged back by Forest, going a goal down to West Ham and losing a three-goal lead against Tottenham. On all three occasions, they came back to win.

Of course it would be better not to face such circumstances in the first place, but for much of the season Liverpool have simply collapsed when the slightest thing has gone wrong. This isn’t quite ‘the mentality monsters’ again, but it is a little piece of themselves they have rediscovered.

Leopold Wahlstedt has admitted that he is flattered with recent transfer links to Liverpool, with the Odds BK star reportedly a target for the Premier League giants.

Speaking to Fotboll Skanalen, the 23-year-old goalkeeper revealed that he is happy to see himself linked with the likes of Liverpool, with the report also stating that Manchester United are now also in the mix to sign the Swedish youngster.

Wahlstedt is regarded as one of the most exciting talents coming through in Scandinavia, with the shot-stopper having a great season so far in the Eliteserien with Odds BK. And when asked about a move to England this summer, the keeper seemed honoured.

The 23-year-old said: “It’s fun when it’s written positively about clubs seeing what you’re doing, then you’ve done something good. They are absolutely big clubs. But I don’t want to comment on any specific club’s interest or anything like that at the moment.”

Wahlstedt added: “As you say, my contract expires at the end of the year. I guess we’ve had contract discussions for about a year now but haven’t agreed on anything new yet. Right now, I just carry on as I have done before, and the rest will take care of itself.”

With early reports indicating that Caoimhin Kelleher is set to leave Liverpool to forge his own path in football, Wahlstedt could be an ideal replacement for the Republic of Ireland international given how cheap the Swedish talent will be this summer.

Moreover, at 23, Liverpool will again have a young goalkeeping option in their ranks in Wahlstedt, who could potentially be viewed by Jurgen Klopp’s side as a long-term replacement for Alisson Becker, as crazy as the idea sounds on paper.
