Liverpool’s form has improved a great deal in recent weeks.
This has seen the Reds climb up to 5th in the Premier League table. A Champions League spot remains out of the question, with Liverpool seven points off Manchester United having played one more game already.
However, Jurgen Klopp and co. can still fight it out for 5th, though there are only four points separating them and 8th place Brighton, who have two games in hand.
As a result, Liverpool need to keep up their winning ways for the rest of 2022/23, but will have to do so without a key man.
