Man United have suffered three straight defeats but Liverpool are still four points (plus goal difference) behind their rivals going into the final three games of the season.
Despite that, you’ll be hearing soundbytes from players and no doubt media on how Liverpool could still upset the odds and somehow nick the final Champions League spot. It’s already started with Adam Lallana quoted on the offical website saying:
“It’s not over yet. We can still finish in the top four but we need to take maximum points now. We’ll keep fighting right to the end. We all know what can happen.
“United have some tough games to play and I am sure they will drop more points.
“We have to put pressure on United by going to Stamford Bridge and getting three points. Pressure is a tough thing to deal with.
“We need to beat Chelsea and Palace and hope it all comes down to the final weekend.”
