Liverpool moved into the EPL Top 4 for the first time since February with a 3-0 win at Burnley as Jurgen Klopp's men remain on course to salvage a place in next season's Champions League.

Roberto Firmino and Nathaniel Phillips struck before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored as the Reds edged ahead of Leicester on goal difference into fourth.

Victory at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday at Anfield will almost certainly guarantee Liverpool's place in the Top 4.

"It was a semi-final. We had to win and we did. Nothing is decided yet but we improved our position and we have the final. That's what we needed," Klopp said.
