Liverpool will be eager to get their Premier League campaign back underway after the international break finishes this week - as they bid to wrap up their title triumph.

Next up is a huge Merseyside Derby against Everton on April 2.

The Reds are 15 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table and know that they could mathematically become champions in the next few games if they continue their winning run and results go their way.

Arne Slot's men have been dealt a double blow of being knocked out of the Champions League by PSG while also losing the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle and the best way to get back on track is to win the title as quickly as possible.

While Mohamed Salah continues to have a sensational season for Liverpool, it still looks likely he will depart Anfield as a free agent this summer unless the club can make some progress with contract talks.

The Egyptian is breaking a string of records this season after netting 32 goals in just 43 games and club legend Michael Owen believes the club should be moving mountains to make sure he stays - no matter the financial implications.

Liverpool have to be careful of the Premier League's PSR regulations when it comes to their salary budget, but Owen feels they should "bend the rules" if it means Salah stays put at the club.

"Mo Salah 's an interesting one.

I think Mo Salah wants to stay, in fact I'm pretty sure he wants to stay," the ex-England striker told talkSPORT.

So I would do whatever it takes to keep him, and I think he wants to stay, but sources tell me that they're still quite a way apart."

Liverpool only made one major signing this season as they brought in Italian winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus.

The 27-year-old has struggled to stay fit and has a number of fitness setbacks since his £10m move last summer, but there looks to be some light at the end of the tunnel after he came on against Newcastle and scored a consolation in the cup final.

Chiesa has been limited to appearances off the bench so far and has managed just three starts in cup competitions - though his father is still upbeat on his son's situation and thinks he will stay at the club despite rumours he could return to Italy.

"Federico is doing great in Liverpool, he is in a top club that is first in the league and now we hope they win the Premier League!" Enrico Chiesa told Tuttosport.

The Estonian centre-back spent two seasons at Anfield between 2016 and 2018 and became something of a fan's favourite.

During that time, he played alongside Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold and hopes that all three players can resolve their differences with the club and sign new contracts.

"Hopefully they will find a solution," he told the Liverpool Echo and other media outlets.

“It’s complicated of course but I hope from the bottom of my heart that they will stay here.

"Of course, yeah, I would be really happy (if Salah signs a new contract) but I don’t know what is the situation there.
