Liverpool Football Club have a lucrative tour of the United States set for their summer’s pre-season activities.  Unfortunately for the Reds, their vacation may be cut short due to Europa League qualifiers.

The Reds landed themselves in the Europa League qualification stages through the Carling Cup, however, they could avoid an early start to the season by winning the FA Cup.

Europa League qualifiers start August 2nd, which would leave the Reds scrambling for fitness following their tour which would end just days earlier.  Kenny Dalglish’s men could avoid this should they grab fifth place or pull off the “impossible job” and snag fourth place from Arsenal.  The Gunners stole the points with a late winner from Robin Van Persie at Anfield, but Steven Gerrard has not ruled the Reds out just yet.

‘We still have plenty of points to play for but we can’t afford to drop too many more,’ Gerrard told the Daily Mail.
