Liverpool might have left it late to gate-crash the top-four party this season, but seven wins on the bounce means they can still go on to rubber-stamp Champions League qualification.
With two matches remaining, Jurgen Klopp and his revived Reds will finish on 71 points if they continue their impressive stretch against Aston Villa and Southampton respectively. However, they are still relying on other results given that Newcastle United and Manchester United have a game in hand.
Both also hold a one-point advantage in the quest to make it through to the marquee European competition for next season. But there is lingering hope for Liverpool.
