Last year the Reds raked in £33m from that, behind only Manchester United's £35m. In 2019/20 the Reds brought in the second highest sum through facilities fees, where 25 per cent of the domestic TV annual deal is dished out based on how frequently teams appeared on television.

Should Liverpool miss out on the top four then that figure would drop to £30m, an £8m reduction on what they saw last season. Liverpool can still finish third this season, although it would take results to go in their favour, which means the most they can make from their placing is £34m, with £32m on offer for clubs finishing in the top four. Winning the Premier League in 2020 brought Liverpool £38m, that figure decreasing by £2m for each position down the table. When Liverpool won the Premier League last season they pocketed £153m in prize money through the Premier League's equal share of the broadcast rights, their final placing in the table, the amount of times they had been featured on TV, the share of international TV rights and share of Premier League commercial revenues.Ī similar picture in terms of the breakdown of the financials will be seen for the current season. The financial impact of the pandemic has put enormous strain on the bottom line of even the biggest clubs, and with Liverpool posting a £46m pre-tax loss for the year ending May 2020, success on the field and securing the financial riches that come along with that has never been more important for club owners. They know that if they win both games, and in doing so overturn their minus one goal difference to third-placed Leicester City, then they will make the Champions League next season, with fourth-placed Chelsea and Brendan Rodgers' FA Cup-winning Foxes meeting on Tuesday night (May 18). Their sensational last-gasp 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, where Reds' keeper Alisson headed home the winner from a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner five minutes into stoppage time, means that Liverpool are in charge of their own destiny when it comes to making the top four. Liverpool look destined for European football next season, although what competition it will be remains unknown. Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice
