Newcastle United just need three more wins to ensure Liverpool cannot overtake them in the Premier League this season. Jurgen Klopp's side are possibly the most dangerous of those currently outside the top four, with only a handful of games remaining.
Eddie Howe's Magpies kept the gap between themselves and the Reds to nine points with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park on Thursday night, and face basement side Southampton at St James' Park on Sunday.
Liverpool can still achieve a total of 71 points following their 2-1 win at West Ham on Wednesday, but that would require the Anfield outfit to win all their remaining six games. Three more wins for Newcastle, currently on 62 points, would match that total, with the Magpies having a superior goal difference.
