Coach G. Houllier stubbornly claims that his team's hopes of playing in the Champions League next year are in their own hands. Currently, Liverpool is in fourth place in the Premier League, which gives them the right to play in the Champions League next year. However, recently the club has not been demonstrating their best game. A loss in the UEFA Cup and a draw against the Premier League outsiders are causing concern among the club's fans. This failure in the Premier League was somewhat mitigated by the fact that the closest rivals in the battle for fourth place also lost.
Liverpool still has 8 matches left to play in the championship, 5 of which are at home. However, the club still has to travel to London to face the undefeated club there.
Houllier said: "The match against Leicester wasn't very bad, but we missed the chance to increase our lead against Newcastle. We have five home matches left, including very important ones against Newcastle and Charlton. Our fate is in our hands. We know what we have to do."
