Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane could score the goal that costs him a Premier League winners' medal.
The former Liverpool player returned this week to Spurs, and the Premier League confirmed that if Liverpool win the title, Keane will qualify for a medal.
With the Premier League race still wide open, the title could go to the final game – when Liverpool face Tottenham at Anfield. Liverpool are just two points behind leaders Manchester United.
Premier League rules state that the champions will receive 21 medals for the players, manager and staff. The qualification rule for players is that they must have appeared in a minimum of 10 league games.
Already this season 17 players have featured in at least 10 games for Liverpool. That figure includes Keane, who arrived in the summer from Spurs for £20 million, and went on to start 16 games, coming on in a further three. He managed to score just five league goals before returning to North London on deadline day for £12 million.
Keane starts for a second time in a Tottenham shirt against Arsenal on Sunday, when he will be captain, after manager Harry Redknapp confirmed he will wear the armband. Ledley King, who has struggled with knee and hamstring injuries, will remain as club captain.
