Jürgen Klopp's final three Liverpool fixtures as what needs to happen next clear

Liverpool has just three matches left of the Jürgen Klopp era at Anfield. Heading into this weekend, for the Reds to win the title, they would have had to win all of their remaining games, Arsenal would need to lose and draw, and Manchester City would need to lose twice. Both the Gunners and the Citizens have a superior goal difference but the 2-2 draw at West Ham has further sealed their fate.

With a difficult week with three away matches that yielded only four points out of the way, there are only three matches left for Klopp, with two of those 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 still very small.

Up next for Liverpool, with a much longer turnaround this time around, Spurs come to Anfield next Sunday. Klopp hates the short distances between matches but he will need his side to adjust to having more than a week to prepare and get ready.

Liverpool faces Tottenham 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.

The title has gone but the Reds need some results to avoid Klopp's tenure fading 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 Nottingham Forest (away) tomorrow.

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 (also tomorrow). 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, though, is no longer important for Liverpool after the Reds lost ground at the worst possible time.
