What are the chances of Liverpool winning the quadruple?
Liverpool have become one of the best teams in England and the world, and they have a chance of winning a stunning quadruple this year. We already know just how good a team they are, but talks of them landing a quadruple is truly mesmerizing.
A team winning the domestic treble as well as the Champions League would be one of the most incredible feats witnessed in football.
Can they go on to achieve this great feat, or will they end up falling just short? Well, this is what we are going to take a look at in this article.
The Quadruple Would be Very Expensive for Bookmakers
If Liverpool do end up completing the quadruple, then it is going to end up being very expensive for the bookies. Betfair will have to pay out a staggering £1.5 million with a number of punters having backed them at odds as high as 500/1. It will also be an expensive day for Sky Bet as they were offering odds of 3000/1 for Liverpool to go on and do the quadruple. In fact, two of their customers placed a £20 wager on it happening, meaning that they would both land a crisp £60,000 if Liverpool went on to do the unthinkable and win all four major trophies available to them.
If you are considering placing a bet on them to achieve this remarkable feat, then what type of odds will you be looking at now? Well, obviously, they are a lot lower than that, but you can still make a decent profit if you are willing to put a decent sized wager down. Below we have listed the odds of a Liverpool quadruple from some of the top bookies out there:
- Bet365 - 8/1
- William Hill - 11/2
- BetVictor - 11/2
- Sky Bet - 7/1
- Betfair - 6/1
N.B. Since the Reds have already won the Carabao Cup, beating Chelsea on penalties, what you are betting on now is that they will go on to win the Premier League, Champions League, and the FA Cup.

Can Liverpool Lift the Premier League Title?
Winning one of the remaining three tournaments will not be easy, but winning the Premier League might end up being the stumbling block for Liverpool since their destiny is not in their own hands. A 2-2 draw against Manchester City a couple of weeks ago means that City still have a one-point advantage at the top. Liverpool recently took on Manchester United and demolished them 4-0, while City played Brighton and won the match 3-0.
Liverpool's remaining fixtures are:
- Everton
- Newcastle
- Tottenham
- Aston Villa
- Southampton
- Wolves
Manchester City's remaining fixtures are:
- Watford
- Leeds
- Newcastle
- West Ham
- Aston Villa
- Wolves
Giving the quality of both sides and the teams that they have to play between now and the end of the season, we would not be surprised if both teams won all their remaining league matches. When looking at the remaining six games for both teams, we feel that Liverpool have the slightly harder run-in, but there is no reason why they cannot pick up 18 points from those six games.
As things currently stand, Manchester City have been given a 64.3% chance of winning the title, while Liverpool have a 35.7% chance. However, this is the Premier League, so neither team can take things for granted.
Can Liverpool Lift the Champions League Title?
Liverpool progressed into the semi-final of the Champions League thanks to a 6-4 aggregate win over Benfica, but what happened on the other half of their draw was something that was totally unexpected. Jurgen Klopp and his men would have been expecting to face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, but they were knocked out by Unai Emery's Villareal.
Now, this is a talented Spanish team that deserves plenty of respect, but we do not see them beating this highly talented Liverpool side. In fact, even if Bayern had made it to the semi-finals instead of Villareal, we do not think that they had shown enough this season to show that they could beat the Reds. As it stands, Liverpool now have a 76.1% chance of making it to the final, and they have been given a 40.5% chance of lifting the prestigious title.
Manchester City have a much harder semi-final since they have to play against Real Madrid, a team that has managed to win the Champions League title a staggering 13 times, but they are still expected to win and make it to the final. If it does end up being a Liverpool versus City Champions League final, and this would be an epic game of revenge for the team that just misses out on the Premier League title.
Manchester City have been given a 67.1% chance of making it to the final, while they have a 37.00% chance of winning the trophy. So, at this moment in time, Liverpool are the favourites to go on and lift this title in May.
Can Liverpool Lift the FA Cup?
Liverpool recently played Man City in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley, and beat them 3-2 to set up a final date against Chelsea, the team that they beat to win the Carabao Cup a couple of months back. This was a brilliant match between the two best sides in the world, and we hope that they final is just as exciting. Liverpool have been given a 65.1% chance of lifting the FA Cup, so are strong favourites to at least add this trophy to their cabinet this season.
What is the Possibility That They Do the Quadruple?
Competing for all four trophies is difficult for any football team, but this Liverpool side has shown that they have the ability to do exactly that. Klopp has managed to build himself a squad that is full of quality, which means that he does not lose any oomph when he makes a couple of changes. Since Liverpool have odds of 7/1 to win the quadruple with the likes of Sky Bet, it means that they have a 12.5% chance of doing so.
If we take their percentage chances of winning each tournament into account, then they have a lower chance of doing so. They have a 37.7% chance of winning the EPL title, a 65.1% chance of lifting the FA Cup, and a 40.5% chance of lifting the Champions League trophy. If we multiply these probabilities together - 0.357 x 0.405 x 0.651 - then we can calculate that Liverpool have a 9.4% chance of winning all three and landing the quadruple. So, there is a chance, but it is a slim one.
Even if they just miss out on the quadruple and land the treble, it will still be something that they can be mightily please about. This is a Liverpool team that has the ability to dominate English and European football for many years to come.
