We will be in as good a shape as possible': Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool will hit the ground running when Premier League returns and admits he is 'desperate' to get back to Melwood

Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool have no need to be 'in as good a shape as possible' in order to clinch a first English league title in 30 years.

Premier League officials are now aiming to restart the season in mid-June, with Liverpool just two wins away from the title when the campaign was postponed on March 13 because of the coronavirus outbreak.

For so long the dominant force in English football, the Merseysiders have not been crowned domestic champions in the Premier League era, with the last of their league titles coming when they won the old First Division crown in 1990.
