While Liverpool’s recent mini-revival may have maintained a flicker of hope of the Reds making the top four it will take a quite remarkable late turnaround in the final five games of the season to make it so.
The Reds’ late 4-3 success at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon saw the gap narrow to Manchester United sit at seven points, with United having a game in hand, while Newcastle United remain nine points clear of Liverpool with the same amount of games played.
Barring a minor miracle it looks like the Europa League will offer Liverpool’s best chance of participating in European competition next season.
