It feels like an age has passed since Liverpool was last in Premier League action
the eight days since the Manchester United draw dominated by talk of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance level,
after the brief pause, the focus this week returns to Liverpool’s priority: winning another top-flight title.
As Jamie Carragher has repeatedly stressed, nothing can distract the Reds from the ultimate goal of drawing level with United on 20 league triumphs.

It is a crucial game in the title race.

Thomas Frank’s side has also lost the last three in front of its own fans, so who knows what that match has in store.
But it’s one that would-be champions should win.
