Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish admits their summer market plans will be dictated by whether they qualify for the Europa League.
Liverpool's long-term planning will continue regardless but the Reds boss is confident the "problem" of Europa League football is something they will deal with if it becomes a reality.
"I find it very difficult to predict the future," said the 60-year-old Scot.
"We've always said we would get our reward at the end of the season - we never set ourselves any target.
"We don't have that (Europa League) problem yet and so until it arises we don't have to solve anything - the biggest problem I have is Fulham on Monday night.
"There will be problems to be solved at the end of the season and if we get the Europa League that will be one of the problems.
"Planning for next season started a good while ago, that (Europa League) is just one thing which has to be taken into consideration but you cannot predict what is going to happen so there is no point in worrying about that."
