Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is confident striker Daniel Sturridge will be fit to play a part in his side's Premier League title run-in.
Rodgers said Sturridge could miss the trip to Norwich on Sunday with a hamstring strain suffered in Sunday's win over Manchester City.
But he is optimistic the England striker, 24, will not be out for long.
"He may be a risk for the weekend," said Rodgers, whose team top the table by two points.
"It is not too serious and it's not going to keep him out for too many weeks. He does recover very quickly though."
Sturridge has hit 23 goals for his club this season - plus two for England - although he has not scored in his last three matches.
Liverpool's 3-2 win over City keeps them two points clear of nearest rivals Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.
Even if fifth-placed Everton defeat Manchester United on Sunday, Liverpool will guarantee Champions League football for next season if they beat a Norwich side who have lost four of their last five matches.
"We've made great progress this season and our objective to qualify for the Champions League was always going to be a very difficult one because of the competitive nature of the league," said Rodgers.
"But we're still on course for that. If we can get a win at the weekend, then that would rubber-stamp that for us."
Third-placed Manchester City's 2-2 draw at home to bottom club Sunderlandon Wednesday means that the destiny of the title lies with both Liverpool and Chelsea, who will meet at Anfield on 27 April.
"One of our rivals might have dropped points, but it's irrelevant," said Rodgers. "You have to do your own job.
"Last night was also a warning sign for everyone. With four games to go, nothing's guaranteed. I've said that all along."
