After losing to the Reds, Leicester is two points from a playoff spot with two games remaining.
After an easy 3-0 victory at Leicester, Jurgen Klopp promised Liverpool will keep up the pressure in the fight for the Champions League.
With the Foxes moving closer to the bottom three, Curtis Jones' quick-fire double and Trent Alexander-Arnold's spectacular goal kept their chase for the top four alive.
With two games remaining and a trip to Newcastle on Monday, Premier League safety is two points away for second-place Leicester.
With a win, Liverpool will participate in Europe next year and will move up to fifth place, one point behind Manchester United and Newcastle, who have each played one fewer game.
As for Newcastle and Manchester United, Klopp said, "Our goal is to keep the pressure on them, but even if we don't, this is already better than we could have anticipated six or seven weeks ago.
"I'm unsure of what it means to us. We had Chelsea breathing down our necks four or five years ago, and they were consistently winning. When we placed fourth and had to compete in qualification, I believe that was the year.
"We had to win the final game, and up until then, we had to win big because they were continually winning behind us.
If I'm being completely honest, I expect them to succeed just like we did.

"But it keeps you on your toes, and that's our job; we've got to keep them on their toes, and then we'll see what happens.
"Six to seven weeks ago, I didn't think it was possible. At the time, consistency was something we lacked.
"We controlled it in a really convincing way, but the game never became the game it could have been, a real fight, challenges everywhere."
Jamie Vardy's early opportunity was thwarted by Alisson Becker, and Liverpool quickly gained the upper hand. Before halftime, Jones' double put an end to the game as a contest.
