Liverpool are favourites to finish in the top-four of the Premier League after their remarkable victory over relegated West Brom on Sunday.
Drawing 1-1 with only seconds of injury time left, a corner in the dying seconds was headed home by goalkeeper Alisson to secure all three points at the Hawthorns and move the Reds to within a point of the Champions League places.
With just two games left in the season, bet365 make Jurgen Klopp’s men 1/4 (1.25) to end a fairly miserable campaign on a high note by reaching the top-four - having been Evens (2.0) last week.
Although they do trail third-placed Leicester City by three points and fourth-placed Chelsea by one, the Foxes and the Blues play each other on Wednesday in a crucial game.
Regardless of the result of that match, Liverpool know that maximum points against Burnley and Crystal Palace will almost certainly be enough thanks to recent victories over Manchester United and the Baggies.
Indeed, should Leicester avoid defeat at Stamford Bridge then two wins will guarantee the Reds a spot if they do pick up those two wins required.
Things get a little trickier if Chelsea claim the victory, but even that would see last season’s champions hold at least a +2 goal difference over the Foxes heading into the final weekend.
Getty ImagesIt was only two months ago that Liverpool were languishing down in eighth with an eight-point deficit to claw back, but a run of six wins in eight games has seen them move into pole position for a Champions League spot.
Thomas Tuchel has done an exceptional job at Chelsea and bet365 price the FA Cup runners up at 4/9 (1.44) to banish those memories by claiming a top-four spot.
The Blues went down 1-0 at Wembley to Leicester at the weekend and will be out to exact revenge on Tuesday night, where a win will see them leapfrog the Foxes.
However, even if they do fail to beat Brendan Rodgers’ men, the London club can still secure a place in next season’s Champions League by beating Manchester City in this term’s final in a little under two weeks.
Finally, Leicester are 4/6 (1.67) despite currently sitting in third, with those odds coming down to the trickiest run-in of the three teams.
After Chelsea away on Tuesday, the Foxes host Tottenham on the final day and can ill-afford any slip-ups with four points required to guarantee a top-four spot - although other results could see them qualify.
