With Liverpool now having just one game a week until the Premier League ends on May 25, Arne Slot has plenty of time on the training pitch with his players as he plots a way to wrap up a 20th domestic title as quickly as possible.
The Reds need just 11 points from 21 available to ensure it is their name on the trophy and it may even be less as second-place Arsenal continue to juggle both domestic and Champions League duty.

Mikel Arteta's team selection at Everton on Saturday was a hint that the Gunners now view their two-legged tie with Real Madrid as more important than attempting to reel in Slot's league leaders and it's unlikely Liverpool will be following suit with sweeping changes for the remainder of the campaign given what is now a relatively sparse fixture list.

But how might Slot line up when he bids to whittle down the figure into single digits when West Ham United visit Anfield on Sunday afternoon?
Alisson Becker might reasonably be expected to feature a week on from failing to make the cut for Fulham.
The Brazil international suffered a concussion in the first of two fixtures during the international break, clashing with Colombia's Davinson Sanchez before sitting out a 4-1 smiting at the hands of arch-rivals Argentina.
Alisson failed to tick the final box of the concussion protocols that would have allowed him to resume action against Everton on Wednesday before once more sitting out the defeat to Fulham, with Slot saying: "There’s a week to go [until the next match] so that gives us a bit of time.
“But you know as Liverpool we always follow the protocol in moments like this when it’s a concussion.
It's an important issue for Slot to get right as he juggles the thinking over the short and long-term at right-back.
If Slot believes Bradley is not yet at 100% then Curtis Jones is likely to get the nod over Jarell Quansah as Trent Alexander-Arnold continues to battle back to full fitness after his ankle injury against Paris Saint-Germain.
Is there potential for Kostas Tsimikas to start ahead of Andy Robertson on the opposite flank?
A first Premier League start of the season for Wataru Endo feels like a prospect that is less likely at this stage.
Up top, Luis Diaz's enterprising, goalscoring cameo off the bench on Sunday means he has given extra food for thought on the left side of the attack, particularly given the paucity of Cody Gakpo's display on Sunday.
The Netherlands star failed to grasp the nettle on his first start since February's Merseyside derby, meaning Diaz should slot back in if the manager is basing his decision on the game alone.

There is, however, a debate for potentially starting Diaz centrally given the struggles of Diogo Jota at Fulham.
What would be just a second Premier League start of the calendar year feels less likely for Darwin Nunez, whose contributions have become less and less impactful as the season has worn on.
Mohamed Salah will, of course, be given the chance to play his way out of what is his first real dip in form this season.
