As Liverpool head into a week that could potentially define their season, Manchester United’s latest set of financial results demonstrate the need for Jurgen Klopp's side to finish strongly to take fourth spot.
In what has been a campaign of relative struggle for the Reds, they find themselves seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, albeit with two games in on their crisis-hit, managerless rivals.
Emerging from the international break, Liverpool face trips to second-placed Manchester City on Saturday and then mid-table Chelsea on Tuesday, before welcoming league leaders Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday week. Maximum points from those games would see the pendulum swing in the Reds' direction once more, but the magnitude of the task awaiting them cannot be understated.
