Liverpool have been predicted to miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League by a supercomputer.
The Reds have gone into the mid-season break, due to the World Cup in Qatar, and are now not back in action until mid-December. Liverpool went into the hiatus with a 3-1 win over Southampton at Anfield on Saturday.
That has left Jurgen Klopp ’s side in sixth spot in the league standings, seven points adrift of the Champions League places with a game in hand. Liverpool still have postponed matches against Wolves and Chelsea left to be rearranged after they were called off in September.
