It will be harsh if Liverpool fails to finish in top four – Ian Wright

Football pundit, Ian Wright has said it would be a big blow on Liverpool if they fail to make it to the top four on the Premier League.

Liverpool who were one of the strongest teams in Europe in the previous season have had things go differently for them in all tournaments this campaign.

As it stands, the Reds are working towards a top four finishing in order to play in the Uefa Champions League next season.

While the top two spots have been taken by Man City and Man Utd, the remaining two spots will be competed by Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City.

Chelsea are seated at the third spot but things go out of hands if the fail to win their next match vs. Aston Villa. The same applies to the Foxes.

However, Wright believes it would be cruel on the Reds miss out on top four, given the huge amount of injuries they have had to deal with this campaign.

He told Premier League Productions: “I feel sorry for Liverpool with everything that has happened.

“With the injuries and everything that has happened to them.

“With the way they blasted the league last year after missing out by a point the year before. Then they get to a situation where they are decimated with injuries. Their front three stop firing.

Wright continued: “Then they find it at the end to get something.

“For them to have a demise, not even get into Champions League for everything they have done the last couple of years then I think it will be very harsh on them.”
