There is another crucial battle in the race for European football taking place at Anfield on Sunday, as Liverpool host Tottenham in the Premier League.
While a top-four finish looks unlikely for both of these teams, a Europa League spot is still very much on and it is the Reds who look to have a slight advantage, as they are only one point behind Tottenham with a game in hand.
Both teams will be desperate for three points, especially with Aston Villa pressing the pair hard for a fifth-place finish, and Sunday's result could have a huge impact on the European race.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Betting Tips:
- Liverpool to win and both teams to score @ 8/5
- Mohamed Salah to score anytime @ 21/20
Liverpool are listed as the 1/2 favourites for Sunday's battle, which comes as no surprise after their win over West Ham in midweek extended their unbeaten run to five matches.
The draw is available at 18/5, while Spurs are as big as 9/2 to win on their travels.
Team news
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is still without long-term absentees Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsay due to adductor and knee injuries, while Roberto Firmino's muscular problem is unlikely to heal in time for Sunday.
Ibrahima Konate should return from a knock, while Naby Keita is in line to make his comeback from a muscle injury and should take a place on the bench.
Spurs' interim boss Ryan Mason will once again be without Hugo Lloris due to a hip issue, while the likes of Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Emerson Royal remain long-term absentees.

Liverpool to win and both teams to score @ 8/5
Liverpool look to have found their rhythm again after their recent three-match winless run towards the end of March, and they are now unbeaten in five in all competitions.
Klopp's side have won three on the spin, scoring 11 goals in the process, and with home advantage they should prevail this weekend.
Tottenham showed some fighting spirit against Manchester United to rescue a 2-2 draw, but it is also hard to forget that they capitulated against Newcastle to lose 6-1 just a week ago.
Both teams have scored in the last five meetings between the two sides, with Liverpool are unbeaten in all of those ties. In fact, the Reds have not lost any of their previous 11 games against Spurs, and that is a record that should continue in a high-scoring encounter.
Mohamed Salah to score anytime @ 21/20
Liverpool's star forward Mohamed Salah may not have been as explosive as he has been in recent seasons, but he has still done enough to score 16 times in the Premier League.
The Egypt international scored both goals in Liverpool's 2-1 success in the reverse fixture, while he has scored seven times against Spurs since joining the Reds in 2017.
Salah has scored five goals in his previous six games for Liverpool, and Spurs will struggle to stop him.
In terms of a correct score, a repeat of the 2-1 in the first meeting this season appeals at 7/1.
