By Thursday night, Liverpool's Europa League fate for next season could be official.
Having charged their way to three of the last five Champions League finals, Jurgen Klopp and his players are now relying on Manchester United losing their final two games of the Premier League season to have any chance of just re-entering the European Cup next term.
United need just one point from their final fixtures - at home to Chelsea and Fulham - to officially consign their arch-rivals to Europe's secondary competition for the first time since 2016. It would represent a significant blow for Liverpool, regardless of how it is sugarcoated.
