Next up for Arne Slot's men is a trip to Marseille on Wednesday evening (January 21).
They will then complete the league phase by hosting Qarabag at Anfield a week later (January 28).
A minimum of one point from those remaining two games will be enough for Liverpool to advance to the play-off round, contested by the teams finishing from ninth to 24th in the final standings.

The Reds are still in contention for a top-eight finish, too, currently outside that group on goal difference only.
Those clubs bypass the play-off stage and advance straight to the Round of 16.
The two-legged play-offs will be held across February 17/18 and February 24/25 after a draw on January 30.
The Round of 16 dates are set for March 10/11 and March 17/18, following the draw on February 27.
