Georginio Wijnaldum has admitted Liverpool are left hoping other teams slip up if they are to finish in the top four this season.
The Reds are currently sixth in the Premier League table after their 2-0 win over Sheffield United on Sunday, and sit two points behind West Ham in fourth.
It brought an end to a miserable run of four straight league defeats, a period that not only put an end to any potential title defence but also leaves them in a battle to secure a place in the Champions League next season.
