Liverpool face Middlesbrough at Anfield on Sunday, May 21. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Champions League qualification for the 2017-18 season all comes down to this weekend, as Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all jockey for the final spots in the Premier League’s top four. Every team kicks off at the same time on Sunday, meaning all three teams will be firmly focused on the task at hand.
Liverpool currently sit fourth in the table, with 73 points. That’s two back of third-place City, and one ahead of fifth-place Arsenal. For the Reds, the task is fairly simple: win and you’re in. If they can get all three points at home against relegated Middlesbrough, they’ll be assured of a Champions League spot.
That said, the Reds would certainly like to see City lose at Watford, which would give them third place (and allow them to avoid the qualification playoff for the Champions League). Nonetheless, Jurgen Klopp’s team largely controls their own fate.
Liverpool pulled off a resounding 4-0 away win last weekend at West Ham, helping them hang on in the standings. They’ll be hoping for a similar performance on Sunday to close out this season by securing a top-four position for the first time since 2014.
Boro have little to play for on Sunday, already Championship-bound. They’ve lost their last two games, including last Saturday at home to Southampton. They conceded three goals at the Riverside Stadium last time these two clubs met, Liverpool taking a 3-0 away win.
