That would not be enough to qualify for European competition, with the Reds needing to overtake Newcastle United and finish seventh to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Conference League.
After Wednesday’s 3-2 win over the Magpies, we are now level on 57 points with Eddie Howe’s men, although they do have a vastly superior goal difference – the Reds would require an unheard-of 24-goal swing to nullify that advantage.
This means that United have to better Newcastle’s result on Sunday, when both sides have potentially tricky looking away trips to close out the campaign.
We visit Brighton & Hove Albion, who are seeking an unprecedented fifth successive league win against us, while Newcastle travel to Brentford.
