Are some Liverpool fans hoping for a loss against Leicester City?

With the league title all but decided after Arsenal crumbled like a chocolate crumbly, crumble thing there is now on only one thing that anyone cares about this season, will Liverpool make the top four.

The reds will head into tonight’s match against relegation threatened Leicester City on an eight game unbeaten run, which has seen them edge closer to those prized Champions League places than anyone had expected after a terrible, terrible season.

However, despite being just four points behind the stuttering pair of Manchester and Newcastle Utd we are all well aware that the run has probably come a little too late to save our season. It’s because of this that some fans find themselves in something of a pickle.

Do we want Liverpool to win and win handsomely at The King Power Stadium to keep our slim hopes of playing amongst Europe’s elite, and Arsenal, alive? Or do we secretly want to slip up and let Jamie Vardy bag a hat trick in a comfortable 3-0 win for the foxes?

Of course when it’s put like that then a Liverpool victory would be the only logical answer. But with our chances of sneaking into the top four looking relatively slim we have to remember that a win for Leicester would drop Everton back into the bottom three with just two games remaining and in serious threat of relegation.

Personally I can see the attraction of trading three points to see the blues go down. After taking so much stick all season it would send us all into the summer slightly happier about how the year panned out. However, what would be even better is watching an “up and coming, era changing” Manchester Utd side drop more points as we cruise to three victories from three in our final weeks of the season and steal their spot in the Champions League.

So should would I be happy with a loss against Leicester City this evening given its far reaching consequences? Not a chance in hell.
