Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits a top four finish may be out of reach.
The Reds host Southampton on Saturday evening.
The Reds go into the weekend seventh in the table, seven points off fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand.
Klopp said, "I am not sure there is still a chance [of a top-four finish] but we will try and if there is one, we will be there, for sure," he said.
"Could we be fifth or fourth and not seventh? Yes, we could have done better in specific moments, but dealing with injuries was the biggest challenge."
