After Chelsea losing last night, if Liverpool win their remaining four games, they're guaranteed top 4.

Just a shame there's three very awkward away games in there, and their form is rather poor.

United away
WBA away
Burnley away
Palace home

What if Chelsea win all their games?

If Chelsea beat Leicester on Tuesday, that would mean the max Leicester can get to is 69 pts. Liverpool, presuming they won all 4 games would chin Leicester on goal difference then (barring a crazy score in Leicester v Spurs).

Chelsea can get to a max 70 pts with two wins v Leicester / Villa.

West Ham can get to 67 pts

Liverpool can get to a max 69 pts if they win all their games.

Chelsea have a superior goal difference at present but nothing that couldn't swing in the remaining games.

[J70]

Actually yes, if Chelsea beat Leicester and everyone wins all their other games, Liverpool and Leicester would finish level on points and it would come down to goal difference.

If Leicester get a result of any kind against Chelsea, then Liverpool guaranteed fourth with four wins.

BUT.... Liverpool have to beat United tonight and Big Sam away at the weekend before any of this even begins to be relevant.

It's very optimistic to suggest Liverpool will win their last four games on current form. They have countless opportunities to capitalise on the teams around them tripping up but failed at most hurdles. Hope Imm wrong because a CL place at the end of this season would seem like a trophy.

Yep.

Prior to six months ago, spinning off four wins on the trot, even with United away, would have seemed very doable.

Now, I would give generous odds that they won't be able to do it. United could cut them to shreds on the break tonight, as Liverpool have to force the issue.

1 win from the last 2, realistically will get Chelsea and Leicester home.

[Farrandeelin]

I've a feeling Liverpool will win tonight.

[dec]

If Liverpool were to win their last 4 games that would make it a 5 game winning streak.

Number of 5 game winning streaks by Liverpool in the league this season : 0

Number of 4 game winning streaks by Liverpool in the league this season : 0

Number of 3 game winning streaks by Liverpool in the league this season : 2

Manchester United, West Brom, Burnley and Crystal Palace four sides with nothing to play for its very much Liverpools top four place to lose.

United vs Liverpool is never "nothing to play for" There's a reason Ole made 10 changes during the week, lets hope it pays off.

Can't see it with potentially Phillips and Williams at the back

United vs Liverpool is never "nothing to play for" There's a reason Ole made 10 changes during the week, lets hope it pays off.

That wasn't the reason ten changes was made, Klopp has already remarked on it. Carlo Ancelotti said simliar.

"honestly, the schedule for them was terrible. They have to play three games in five days, it's impossible to play three games in five days with the same team.

"So it's absolutely normal to rotate the players, because they cannot arrive at the last game fresh. The problem was the schedule, not the fact that they changed the team against Leicester."

The fixture will bring a certain amount of motivation however Liverpools need is far greater to win this match tonight

Sure it is 
You'll probably then be the first to say they "bottled" it if they don't win all 4 games.

Let down the air on the tyres also, apparently there was no one on the bus though.
