Liverpools priority should now be getting their injured players fit for the Capital One Cup final, says Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp. Josh Allen Jersey . Jurgen Klopps side take on Manchester City at Wembley on February 28 with the seasons first piece of silverware up for grabs.Before that showpiece event, the ninth-placed Reds travel to bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa on Super Sunday, and then take on Augsburg over two legs in the UEFA Europa League round of 32. However, Redknapp - who played for the club between 1991 and 2002 - believes Klopps focus should be on trying to win the League Cup.Obviously he wants to win a trophy, the Capital One Cup is a big game for the club and the manager because there have been some real positives, some great moments this year, he told Sky Sports News HQ. It is about getting those players fit for the cup final now, which is obviously really important. Jamie Redknapp They won away at Manchester City in the Premier League with a fantastic performance, won away at Southampton in the Capital One Cup.But there have also been some really disappointing results, namely at Watford when they really struggled. So it is hard to find some solutions to how they are going at Liverpool. Philippe Coutinho (left) and Daniel Sturridge are now back from injury Redknapp thinks that with some of Liverpools most important players now slowly returning from injury, especially striker Daniel Sturridge and playmaker Philippe Coutinho, things are starting to look up at Anfield.They played ever so well against West Ham in the FA Cup, they were a little bit unlucky, a lot of the younger players did themselves a lot of good, he said. But just that final moment, the big moments when you want a goalscorer… obviously Sturridge coming back is important for the club [as is] Coutinho coming back.So I do think Liverpool could have a good end to the season and I think it is about getting those players fit for the cup final now, which is obviously really important.

MEGEVE, France -- Take it from cycling great Eddy Merckx: nobody can beat Chris Froome in this Tour de France.Riding with the poise and purpose of the Tours undisputed leader, Froome won a mountain time trial in Stage 18 on Thursday and opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of nearly four minutes over his closest challenger, Dutch rider Bauke Mollema.Only two Alpine stages remain before Sundays mostly ceremonial finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.He deserves his win. Hes the strongest, said Merckx, a five-time Tour winner. I cant see what could prevent him from keeping this yellow jersey until Paris. His opponents just stay on his teammates wheels. Barring an incident, nobody can beat him in this Tour.Riding in a yellow bodysuit and yellow aerodynamic helmet, Froome pumped his right fist after clocking slightly more than half an hour over the 17-kilometer (10.5-mile) route from Sallanches to the Megeve ski resort -- which featured majestic views of Mont Blanc.Froome finished 21 seconds ahead of Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin to take his second stage win of this years Tour.Thats a huge compliment coming from Eddy, Froome said. Obviously we feel like were in a bit of a bubble in the race here. But to have somebody like that give a compliment like that is a great honor.Froome increased his overall lead to 3 minutes, 52 seconds over Mollema, with Adam Yates of Britain third, 4:16 behind.Two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana stayed fourth but now trails by 4:37 after another difficult day for the Colombian.The main thing for me now is staying safe, Froome acknowledged. Obviously Ive got a fantastic advantage now. So now its about looking after that advantage and not taking any risks.Its not over until we cross that final finish line, but today is a huge boost of confidence, Froome added. I think over these next couple of days were going to see more of a race for podium spots.Froome stood only fifth at the first checkpoint, the top of the Cote de Domancy climb, but the British rider clearly saved energy for the second half of the stage, surging in front over the final kilometers.Frooome just showed he is the strongest, said Dumoulin, who rode 90 minutes before the race leader. Ray-Ray McCloud Jersey. panish Vuelta champion Fabio Aru of Italy finished third in the stage, 33 seconds behind.It was the Tours first mountain time trial since the 2004 race against the clock up lAlpe dHuez. Besides the flat opening four kilometers (2.5 miles) and a short descent at the finish, it was entirely uphill.Froomes other stage win this year came with an audacious downhill attack in Stage 8 in the Pyrenees. The Kenyan-born rider with Team Sky also won a time trial in the 2013 Tour, when he took his first overall victory.Having also won the Tour last year, Froome is on course for his third title in four years.Considering that most of the route was uphill, many riders used road bikes fitted with bars to lay their arms on for a more aerodynamic position.Froome was one of the few riders to use a full time trial setup with an aerodynamic rear disc wheel instead of traditional spokes.I think that was a big part of todays stage -- selecting the right equipment, Froome said. The other aspect of today was pacing. It was important not to go too fast too early.Fans lined the major climb of the route, the Cote de Domancy, getting up close to the riders to shout encouragement -- with glaciers and snowcapped mountains in the distance.Stage 19 on Friday follows a 146-kilometer (91-mile) route over four ascents from Albertville to Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc. The penultimate leg on Saturday concludes with a tricky descent to Morzine after four more climbs through the Alps.Tomorrow is a very tricky stage with a lot of tricky descents. Theres talk about thunderstorms during the race. Its definitely going to have to be a stage where we stay right on our game, Froome said.We cant relax and switch off now, Froome added. Weve got to see this through right to the end.---AP Sports Writer Samuel Petrequin contributed to this report.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Cheap NFL T-shirtsWholesale JerseysNFL Jerseys ChinaJerseys NFL CheapCheap NFL Black JerseysChina NFL JerseysYouth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
