Liverpool must shake off their poor form against lower half teams if they are to finish in the top four.

Arsenal won 2-0 at Southampton on Wednesday to move up to fifth place in the Premier League, three points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, with three games to play.

"Both of them are playing well and both have a great team spirit".

A draw against Hull City would secure safety for Crystal Palace and also guarantee a spot in next season's Premier League for Watford and Burnley.

Jurgen Klopp's men travel to West Ham on Sunday (kick-off 14:15 BST) and play Middlesbrough on the last day of the season, while the north London club host Sunderland on Tuesday and Everton in their final league match next weekend, BBC reports.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have already secured a place in the 2017/18 Champions League group stage but the two remaining spots remain firmly up for grabs.

"But now we have three games and we have to give everything, like we did today, to try and get everything out of all the games".

That trend could well change this weekend as Mark Hughes' side have offered very little resistance against the top teams in the Premier League this season, picking up just three points from a possible 33 against the top six clubs.

"I definitely think there's a twist yet", he added.

'They have to win all their remaining games and even then it is out of their hands.

It seems that Liverpool, City and Arsenal will be fighting it out among themselves, so who out of those clubs has the toughest run-in?

'Liverpool slipping up has certainly opened the door to Arsenal - but I would sooner be in Jurgen Klopp's position with the points on the board. "It shows how close we all are and it has been a odd season".

Leaders since November, Chelsea face a pleasingly straightforward equation at West Bromwich Albion on Friday: win and they will be Premier League champions.

We knew that if we were in the title race, Champions League qualification would be a given.
