Leicester City were unable to simplify Newcastle United's road to the Champions League after capitulating against Liverpool tonight.
The resounding away win for Jurgen Klopp's side made it seven successive victories for Liverpool and while their triumph puts them just one point behind Manchester United and Newcastle, the Magpies and Red Devils still have what could to be a crucial game in hand over the men from Anfield.
United know that a win over Brighton & Hove Albion would re-establish the four point gap between Newcastle and Liverpool. Eddie Howe's team can still hit 75 points if they win all their games and the Reds can only collect 71 in total if they beat Aston Villa and Southampton.
