Liverpool have left it late to revive their European aspirations this campaign, but results across the Premier League on Thursday night opened up their most-likely route.
Jurgen Klopp and his Reds have endured a frustrating season in the main. However, three straight wins and some favourable slip-ups from other sides chasing after Champions League and Europa League qualification have allowed them to sneak through the back gate.
Now that arch rivals Manchester United have faltered in their Europa League charge, the top-four will book their places in the marquee competition; for next season. As things stand, it looks like United and Newcastle will fill the last two spots behind title favourites Manchester City and table-toppers Arsenal.
