The five time Champions League winners are fighting to
get the 4th spot in order to qualify for the CPL. Liverpool have not
played CPL since 2010.
Liverpool have been sensational since the start of the
season. Currently at 4th spot. Everton is two points behind them and
they also have a game in hand, if Everton win then Liverpool will fall down to fifth
place while Tottenham who will face Swansea City will also equal the points if
they beat Swans today.
Liverpool can only remain on 4th spot after
this gameweek if Everton fail to win against West Bromwich at the Hawthorns on
Monday.
Liverpool failed to get the three points against Aston
Villa at Anfield last night. Final score was 2-2. While Lucas suffered an ankle
injury. Daniel Sturridge returned in the starting line-up and scored a goal, Steven
Gerrard was also on the score sheet for the Reds.
Today’s
question is that how will LFC finish this season in top 4?
17 games are left to play in the Barclays Premier League this season.
Liverpool remaining fixtures are:
Everton (Home), West Brom (Away), Arsenal(Home), Fulham (Away), Swansea (Home), Southampton (Away), Sunderland (Home), Manchester United (Away), Cardiff (Away), Tottenham (Home), West Ham (Away), Manchester
City (Home), Norwich (Away), Chelsea (Home), Crystal Palace (Away) and
Newcastle (Home).
Liverpool majority of matches against good and competitive
teams are at Anfield that’s an advantage.
Southampton and Newcastle will be the surprising game,
these two games will give a tough time. While playing against top teams like
City and Chelsea is always difficult but Liverpool have a good advantage of
Anfield.
If Liverpool win atleast 10 matches, draw 4 and lose 3
in the remaining fixtures then I think they will make it to top 4.
They have 43 points and if they follow above line then
they will have 77 points and 77 is enough to make the top 4.
From the last years:
2012-2013, Arsenal finished 4th with 72
points.
2011-2012, Tottenham finished 4th with 69
points.
2010-2011, Arsenal finished 4th with 68
points.
By seeing the above points with respect to 4th
place it is obvious that this season fourth spot will not going to finish in less
than 72 points. And if Liverpool managed to get 77 then they will be in the Champions League.
