Liverpool could face Jurgen Klopp's former club Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League play-off if they fail to finish third in the Premier League.
The Reds go into Sunday's final game of the season against Middlesbrough in fourth place, needing a win to guarantee themselves a top four spot.
But three points at Anfield may not be enough to avoid a nightmare draw against Bundesliga giants Dortmund, La Liga side Sevilla or Serie A high-flyers Napoli.
Klopp's side will overtake Manchester City and finish third if they beat Boro by at least four goals and Pep Guardiola's men draw at Watford.
