Jurgen Klopp at risk of missing Anfield farewell if one thing happens against Aston Villa
Jurgen Klopp could miss his Anfield farewell if one thing happens in Liverpool's next Premier League game against Aston Villa.
Having dropped points against Everton and West Ham United, the Reds returned to the win column with a big 4-2 victory over Tottenham.
Despite picking up three points, Liverpool fans ruthlessly took aim at one of their own players following his underwhelming showing.
Klopp, meanwhile, has just two games remaining of his Liverpool career following nine successful seasons at the club.

His side visit Unai Emery's Villa next Monday before hosting Wolves on May 19 in the final day of the Premier League campaign.
And the German boss is at risk of missing his Anfield farewell.
If he's booked at Villa Park, then he will receive a touchline ban - meaning he will be sat in the stands against Wolves.
Klopp has been cautioned two times this season and a third yellow card would result in a touchline ban.
He picked up a yellow card at Luton Town before being shown a second yellow card against Burnley.
Liverpool's title charge ended last month as they succumbed to cross-town rivals Everton.
But the 56-year-old liked what he saw against Spurs last Sunday.
"I really like the way the boys played," he said. "I liked the individual performances, how we played together - so many good things today. Yes, conceding two, ask Ali - he is really not happy about that. But it was a really good football game, and I think that's what everybody should expect from us - results as well.
"We delivered both. And the moments, how I said, I think they are a little bit explainable, should not happen anyway, but didn't count really today."
Liverpool have 78 points on the board and have qualified for next season's Champions League campaign, having played in the Europa League this term.
