While Liverpool might currently be battling with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford to finish in the top four, or even just qualify for Europe next season, it’s an even tighter battle at the other end of the table.
With teams having between 10 and 12 games left to play in the bottom half of the Premier League, this year’s relegation is currently finely poised with just four points separating the bottom nine sides. As a result, it’s impossible to say with any certainty who looks set to plying their trade in the Championship next year.
At the start of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign, the Reds were no strangers to snapping up a cut-price bargain from a relegated club. Gini Wijnaldum, Andy Robertson and Xherdan Shaqiri all joined in successive summers from Newcastle United, Hull City and Stoke City respectively following each side’s relegation.
