Football in England is particularly grueling.

If domestic football takes some time off, then it is for an international break where the players still have to compete at the highest level.

Unlike in the other top five leagues, there is no significant break during the season.

For example, whilst Premier League sides gear up for the hectic schedule in the run-up to Christmas and after that, in other countries, they put their feet up and enjoy their winter break.

The Scottish left-back said: “It is up to us to be fresh.

It is up to us to be fresh in mind and fresh in body.

The schedule still has a lot of games and there will be tired bodies, but hopefully in April and May we still need to be fresh and we will still be firing on all cylinders because we’re going to need to be doing that to win anything this season.

If we are, it gives us the best possible chance.”

The team will be looking to their leaders to pull them together for a potentially historic end to the campaign which would see them match Manchester United for the most league titles won by an English club with 20.

Liverpool, who at one point of the season were on track to win a historic quadruple, now see themselves needing to stay focused to clinch the Premier League title.
