"You lost the league at Goodison Park," the Everton fans delighted in singing as time ran out for Liverpool. That is not quite true, of course, for the Reds, but they will need a miracle from here to win the Premier League.

With another Merseyside derby out of the way, it means there are only four matches left of the Jürgen Klopp era at Anfield. All of those are in the Premier League but the chances of the Reds sending him off on the biggest possible high are now almost zero.

Up next for Liverpool, with a quick turnaround from this game to the next, is a trip to face West Ham United in the early kick-off slot on Saturday. Klopp hates the short turnaround but that match would only have moved to Sunday this weekend had Arsenal beaten Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Once that didn't happen, it was confirmed for the earlier slot.

Liverpool faces West Ham next, and then finishes the season with matches against Spurs and Wolves at Anfield with a trip to Aston Villa to take on Unai Emery's side at Villa Park in between. All of those fixtures could be tricky for different reasons.

While the Reds need perfection from their own games, they also need multiple favors from elsewhere for the campaign not to peter out with a whimper. Manchester City, the current leader in the Premier League title race relative to the number of matches that it has played, faces Brighton (away) tomorrow.

After the trip to Brighton, Manchester City is away at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Still with another four matches after that double-header thanks to its games in hand, Pep Guardiola's side then faces Wolves (home), Fulham (away), Tottenham (away) and West Ham United (home). Out of the Champions League, it only has the league and the FA Cup final to focus on.

Arsenal, meanwhile, has the North London derby next. After beating Chelsea comfortably earlier in the week, the Gunners are away at Spurs this weekend and then will have played the same number of matches as Liverpool.

Mikel Arteta's side finishes the season with Bournemouth (home), Manchester United (away) and Everton (home). After demolishing Chelsea, it moved 13 ahead of Liverpool in the goal difference stakes. That looks much less important now Liverpool has lost important ground at the worst possible time.
