Scenarios for knockout phase qualification with leaders Liverpool on the verge of round of 16 spot along with Barcelona

Liverpool make it seven wins out of seven in the Champions League. Elliott's deflected strike proved to be the winner. Lille put up a decent fight, equalising through David after Mandi was sent off. Job done.

Liverpool's victory over Lille last night was fundamentally good for them in that they are through to the last 16 and have secured a top-two seeding. However, that is also a positive for English clubs as a whole.
