Liverpool moved into the Premier League top four for the first time since February with a 3-0 win at Burnley as Jurgen Klopp’s men remain on course to salvage a place in next season’s Champions League.
Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Phillips struck either side of half-time before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain smashed home two minutes from time as the Reds edged ahead of Leicester on goal difference into fourth.
Victory at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday in front of the biggest crowd at Anfield since they ended a 30-year wait to become champions of England last season will almost certainly guarantee Liverpool’s place in the top four.
Leicester are four goals behind on goal difference so need to better Liverpool’s result when they host Tottenham at the King Power.
Third-placed Chelsea, who are a point ahead of both, travel to Aston Villa on the final day of the campaign.
Liverpool have now won four consecutive league games for the first time in a difficult season ravaged by injuries to key players.
