After seeing their dreams of a quadruple and then a treble disappear, betting sites make Liverpool 5/1 to close out Jurgen Klopp's final season at Anfield with a Premier League and EFL Cup double.
It's all gone wrong for the Merseysiders, who had been gunning for an unprecedented quadruple and had seen their odds shrink from 1500/1 at the start of the season to 25/1 in March.
They'd already bagged one trophy following an extra-time win over Chelsea in the League Cup final but would see their quad dreams go up in smoke with an FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United in March.
The Europa League followed suit after a disastrous performance in their quarter-final first leg against Atalanta, suffering a 3-0 defeat to the Italian outfit at Anfield. And although the Reds won the second leg, it was not enough to save them from elimination.
Liverpool are now in danger of ending the season with only one trophy after a downturn in results in the Premier League, combined with Manchester City's relentless run towards the top.
A Premier League and EFL Cup double had been 50/1 at the start of the season, but those odds were cut drastically after Liverpool's triumph over Chelsea and impressive top-flight form.
Now their a 5/1 shot, with gambling sites giving them a 16.7 per cent chance to cap Klopp's final season with a double.
Liverpool Trophy Odds:
- Premier League & EFL Cup - 51 (bet365)
- Premier League - 5/1 (Betfred)
Football betting sites had expected the Anfield outfit to add to their trophy haul by winning the Europa League, many of them making the Reds odds-on to win the competition entering the last eight stage.
However, Liverpool succumbed to a 3-1 aggregate defeat in the quarter-finals to Atalanta, with a 3-0 home reverse at Anfield the contributing factor in the early departure from the competition.

Liverpool to win double odds
As a result of their FA Cup and Europa League exits, Liverpool only have the Premier League title to play for this season.
But, the title race has swung dramatically in City's favour after the Reds were held by Manchester United and then lost to Crystal Palace in successive weeks. A vital victory over Fulham has stemmed the tide, but Klopp's men still face an uphill challenge.
Liverpool were odds-on to win the Premier League title, but they're now out to 5/1 with City the favourites in the Premier League odds at 4/7.
The balance of power has shifted between all three sides all season, but it now seems to lie with the Cityzens, who have become experts in winning title races.
City arguably have the easier run-in of the three title contenders and Liverpool have been left hoping other sides do them a favour, as well as winning all their remaining games.
The Reds next face Everton on Wednesday in the Merseyside derby with the stakes raised for both clubs at either end of the table. A win for Klopp's men could plunge the Toffees back into the relegation mire, while Sean Dyche's side will be looking to deal another hammer blow to Liverpool's title hopes.
After the battle at Goodison, the games continue to come thick and fast for Liverpool, who face West Ham (a), Tottenham (h) and Aston Villa (a) before a final day of the season encounter with Wolves at Anfield on May 19.
