JAKARTA - Liverpool are arguably superior in terms of seeking to finish in the top four based on Premier League regulations.

The Reds are currently in fifth place. However, it will surpass Leicester if they beat Burnley on Wednesday night. Yes, Jurgen Klopp's men will be on goal difference from Leicester.

It could be a tight finish to Sunday's final clash against Crystal Palace although Liverpool and the Foxes also have the same tally of goals.

If Liverpool win on Wednesday and then beat Palace, while Leicester beat Tottenham, both teams will finish the season on 69 points.

The score will affect the difference between goals and goals scored, although both teams may end up with the same number.

Premier League rules in this unusual scenario state, positions will be decided based on the head-to-head records between the two teams.

And that will be good news for Liverpool. Despite losing 1-3 at King Power, Liverpool won 3-0 at Anfield at the start of the season. This is what gives them an advantage.

However, had the Reds not scored an away goal, and both games ended 3-0 for the hosts, then a playoff would have taken place.
