A sensational match in the EPL: Liverpool and Bournemouth will compete in the League Cup in a golden match!
The English Premier League could witness something unprecedented. According to the current rules of the tournament, if Liverpool loses to Brentford by a minimum of 0:1 in the 38th round, and Bournemouth defeats Nottingham Forest by a score of 5:0, then both teams will be in an equal position. Both teams will have 59 points each. Their points difference will be 62:53. In a situation like this, the EPL rules explicitly require that an extra match be played at a neutral ground. The team that wins this match will get the coveted spot in the Champions League. It’s worth noting that this scenario doesn’t seem too far-fetched. Last season, Bournemouth already showed the necessary scoring ability, defeating Nottingham Forest by a score of 5:0. Meanwhile, Liverpool is currently in a difficult situation, having not won any of its last three matches.
