Liverpool are without Champions League football this season but the incentive to get back to the top table is bigger than ever
Following the disappointment of last season’s fifth-placed finish in the Premier League that saw them have to settle for the Europa League, Liverpool are aiming to right those wrongs this campaign.
This season, even if the club were to triumph in the Europa League, revenues compared to their final run of 2022 will likely be some £60m smaller. The hit on revenue is something that the club and owners Fenway Sports Group will have to take on the chin, but one that they hope will be overcome swiftly by a return to the Champions League in 2024/25 via a top four finish in the Premier League.
A draw will still occur at the season's start, but solely to determine the fixtures for the league phase. Each club will play eight games - four at home and four away. The 36 teams will be divided into four pots based on rankings. Pot One will include the reigning Champions League winners and the top eight clubs by coefficient. Unlike before, champions of top domestic leagues and UEFA Europa League titleholders won't automatically get into Pot One.
It also provides greater exposure for brands associated with the club which, in turn, provides Liverpool with leverage when it comes to negotiating deals with new partners or discussing extensions with existing ones.
