Klopp admits Liverpool were lucky to beat Stoke

Brazil playmaker Philippe Coutinho is doubtful for Saturday's trip to Stoke City after being sick at half time during Wednesday's draw with Bournemouth.

Liverpool were indebted to Mignolet, however, the goalkeeper making a brilliant reaction save to deny Berahino when the striker looked certain to score from close range, and Klopp's men are now nine points ahead of Arsenal in the race for top-four places.

Mane scored for the Reds as they won their highly contested Merseyside Derby 3-1 against Everton on Fool's day.

"[The club] asked me to stay at home because I was not feeling well but I wanted to be here". These are the highest-quality players and if you took out all the players which we miss now from other teams I'd be surprised if they could play their best football.

"I am pretty sure Sadio will need surgery but I am not 100 percent sure when it will happen, but then it is clear season over", said Klopp, whose side are third.

But now manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed the 24-year-old will now sit out the Reds' final seven games as they aim to secure Champions League qualification.

"Of course. It was a big win".

The Potters nearly fought back, however, with Simon Mignolet producing a superb save to thwart Saido Berahino.

But Coutinho wasn't supposed to even be in the squad.

"I thought a lot about it and no one understands it but that was my decision. We just have to get as many points as we can", he added.

At this rate, there may not be a huge clamour for Mignolet to be replaced this coming summer?

When this season comes to an end and the award for the best goal of the campaign is dished out, Roberto Firmino's ferocious strike against Stoke could be among the contenders.

His last first-team outing came in November, but Klopp has said the 20-year-old could feature against Stoke on Saturday, with Liverpool's squad now decimated by injuries.
