Liverpool’s dreams of landing a historic quadruple in Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign at the helm were dashed at Old Trafford on St. Patrick’s Day, however, the Reds still have two more shots at silverware before the end of the season in June.
On a hugely dramatic visit to Manchester on 17 March, Liverpool came unstuck against rivals United when they lost 4-3 in the dying embers of extra time in the FA Cup quarter-finals, ending their involvement in that tournament they last won in 2022.
The manner of their defeat to United was a bitter pill to swallow, however, Klopp’s trophy hunters will continue their two-pronged assault on the Premier League and Europa League, where the prospect domestic and continental glory awaits.
There is a determination at the club to give Jurgen Klopp the perfect sendoff before the popular German coach takes his leave, but how likely are Liverpool to win three trophies by close of business in 2023/24?
The best football betting sites UK have a myriad of markets in that direction and they continue to freshen up their prices for the Reds to add more trophies to their haul after their initial success in the EFL Cup in February.
Can Liverpool land their second-ever Premier League title?
Much to their chagrin, Liverpool have only won the Premier League title once since England’s top flight rebranded in the early 90s, though Jurgen Klopp will be keen to remedy the situation before his career break
Liverpool clinched their competitors to the Premier League crown during the coronavirus-impacted 2019/20 campaign, though with restrictions in place, the club’s long-suffering supporters were denied the chance to pack Anfield to the rafters on trophy presentation day.
This season – and with a rebuilt midfield – Liverpool have looked like potential title winners and they occupied top spot for weeks on end before they were recently replaced at the summit by an on-fire Arsenal outfit on goal difference.
With Pep Guardiola’s City – who are chasing an unprecedented fourth championship on the spin – also breathing down their necks, a three-way Premier League race looks possible in the run-in.
Liverpool have tricky fixtures to navigate before May, particularly against Manchester United, Tottenham and Aston Villa, however, the bookmakers like their chances and have listed them as second-favourites behind City to win the Premier League outright at 2/1.
Much will depend on how the injury picture develops and Liverpool will need big-hitters like Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate to regain fitness soon to maintain their challenge for English football’s top prize.
Reds are huge favourites to win the Europa League
Conquering England’s Premier League ahead of a lengthy list of top-class antagonists is one of the most difficult challenges to crack in football, though the Europa League could offer a much clearer path to honours for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.
The Merseysiders – who have the quality to be a real force in the Champions League – had to be content with competing a step down in the European competition pyramid this season following their fifth-placed Premier League finish last term.

Liverpool coasted through the Europa League Group Stage before Christmas, netting 17 times in six fixtures to set up a knockout round double-header against Sparta Prague earlier this month. The Reds ran roughshod over their opponents from Czechia, flexing their considerable muscle to win 11-2 on aggregate over two legs.
The quarter-final draw was kind to Liverpool, pairing them with Italian outfit Atalanta and lining up a test against either Benfica or Marseille in the semi-final should they qualify at La Dea’s expense.
There could be a date in Dublin to enjoy on Wednesday, May 22 where a final rendezvous with Bundesliga champions-elect, Bayer Leverkusen, looks possible.
Die Werkself, who are 7/2 second favourites to win the Europa League, are managed by ex-Liverpool hero Xabi Alonso and with the Spaniard listed among the potential candidates to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, Reds’ supporters could be caught between two eras at The Aviva Stadium.
For fans dreaming of treble glory and multiple pieces of silverware, operators are carrying special markets where Liverpool are priced at 9/2 to add both the Premier and Europa League to their EFL Cup in the campaign’s climax.
A three-trophy bounty would certainly be the perfect silver handshake for Jurgen Klopp ahead of what is guaranteed to be an emotional Liverpool exit for the German.
