Klopp keen for Liverpool momentum

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hopes his team can build momentum heading into the Europa League final against Sevilla.

The Reds host Chelsea on Wednesday before a trip to West Brom, followed by the European decider on May 18 in Switzerland.

"If we lose the next two games, I will go to Basle still confident, still [thinking] we can win," he told a news conference on Tuesday.

"But it'd feel better to win [against Chelsea and West Brom]."

"Our league position isn't fixed. Fifth is still possible," he said.

"We will try everything for sure."

As for his side's meeting with ninth-placed Chelsea, Klopp said he understood the enormity of the encounter.

"It's Liverpool v Chelsea. A big game, two really big clubs," he said.

"I am looking forward to it."
