When Liverpool take on Leicester City next Monday, Jurgen Klopp might be paying closer attention than usual to some of the opposing players. Claudio Ranieri’s men are in real danger of being relegated just 12 months after their improbable title-winning season. It’s quite remarkable, really; they were fighting relegation two years ago, and they are fighting relegation now, yet they won the league in between. It’s almost impossible to comprehend how that can happen, especially as they’ve had more or less the same core of players the entire time. Whenever a team is relegated, Premier League clubs will circle like…
