Liverpool Could Face Premier League Playoff for Champions League Place

While the Reds are incredibly likely to be playing in Europe's leading competition next season, their berth has not yet been mathematically confirmed.

Bournemouth are still technically in the race for fifth, ensuring a tense Sunday afternoon at Anfield.

Playoff Possibility Remains

What is similarly horrifying is the prospect of a playoff for fifth, which remains a possibility ahead of the final day—no matter how unlikely.

Head-to-head record: One win each

Away goals scored in head-to-head games: Two each

After all those metrics are considered, a playoff is used.

Opposition Records

The Reds have never lost to or conceded against Brentford on home soil in the Premier League—although they did lose away at the Bees earlier this season.

Bournemouth, while boasting a strong record away at Forest, have never beaten them by more than a single goal at the City Ground.
