The Reds moved 11 points clear at the top with a first Premier League victory at defending champions Manchester City in nearly 10 years on Sunday.

As toothless as Pep Guardiola's faltering side were in the 2-0 chastening, it was a performance of class and composure from Liverpool, who are now in pole position to claim the title.

But not that Reds head coach Arne Slot will be getting ahead of himself.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Jota.

The Premier League trophy is far from won.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are again the double pivot, but Dominik Szoboszlai could barely run come full-time at Manchester City on Sunday so Curtis Jones is the sole number 10.

Up top, Cody Gakpo is back and can go on the left, Mohamed Salah continues on the right and why not have Darwin Nunez down the middle.

He'll have something of a point to prove.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Nunez.

That has to continue against Newcastle, before they have time to re-group ahead of the Premier League title run-in.

I’d make one change in defence with Kostas Tsimikas coming in for Andy Robertson.

Hopefully he has recovered to lead the line against Newcastle, with Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez on standby if not.

And after returning from injury off the bench against City, Cody Gakpo is restored to the starting XI in his favoured left-wing position.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Jota.
