Liverpool are flying high after reaching the Champions League final but Chelsea could yet still prevent them from qualifying for next season’s competition.

A remarkable 7-6 triumph over Roma in the semi-finals has set up a date with Real Madrid on May 26, but the Reds need to win one of their final two Premier League games to secure a top-four finish.

Tottenham are favourites to finish third after Liverpool dropped points against West Brom and Stoke City, while Chelsea know anything less than a win at Stamford Bridge will all but extinguish their faint hopes of finishing fourth.
