Prior to the weekend, Liverpool were 5/2 to complete a miraculous turnaround and finish in those coveted top spots.
But that 7-0 humiliation of Man Utd coupled with other results going their way has put them right in the reckoning.
Newcastle were beaten by title challengers Manchester City at the Etihad to continue their winless return.
The Toon appeared to be distracted by the Carabao Cup final, with Saturday’s game a difficult one to get back into league action for.

While Spurs capped off a shocker of a week with a 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
Antonio Conte’s men were beaten by Sheffield United in the FA Cup in midweek before that loss.
Spurs still occupy fourth spot at present but are now just three points clear of Liverpool – who have also played a game less – and are 23/10 with Betfair to finish in the top four.
Newcastle have two games in hand over Spurs and sit four points behind them as things stand and are the same odds at 23/10.
While Brighton recorded another thumping win at the weekend and have THREE games in hand over Spurs.
They’re just seven points off the North Londoners and their price has been slashed from 10/1 to 11/2 for the top four.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Liverpool are now Evens to finish in the top four this season, having been 15/8 before their record-breaking 7-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
“The Reds will leapfrog Tottenham into fourth if they win their game in hand, with Antonio Conte’s men 23/10 to play Champions League football next season.
“Meanwhile, Newcastle are also 23/10 to finish in the top four, despite their five-game winless run in the league.”
