Jurgen Klopp has accepted that Liverpool are resigned to playing in the Europa League - despite the Reds having an outside chance of still getting into the top four.
Newcastle United fans had the champagne on ice on Saturday as Aston Villa led at Anfield until the 90th minute when Roberto Firmino equalised to postpone the celebrations on Tyneside.
But even after scrambling a point, Liverpool would need to thrash Southampton and hope that Newcastle lost to both Leicester and Chelsea and even then there would need to be a massive swing in the goal difference stakes.
