The games keep coming thick and fast, with a trip to Aston Villa up next on Wednesday.

Having secured a nervy 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday, the Reds have a seven-point advantage over Arsenal at the top of the table.

At this point, it is firmly a two-horse race, with the next nearest challenger - Nottingham Forest - sitting a further six points back, while fourth-placed Manchester City is 16 points off the pace.

A trip to the Etihad awaits at the weekend, but before then, the Reds will have to overcome another tough test against Unai Emery's Villa.

Arne Slot will be speaking to the media today ahead of that game, with plenty to discuss for the Liverpool boss.

Slot still has an FA charge hanging over his head after being sent off against Everton, with the Reds head coach and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff facing potential touchline bans.

As things stand, both will be in the dugout at Villa Park, although they could find out more later this week.

Away from matters on the pitch, thoughts may already be turning to the summer transfer window, with sporting director Richard Hughes having been spotted at Southampton's game against Bournemouth at the weekend.

He may have had his eye on a few of the visitors' players, including Dean Huijsen, with Liverpool having now been told how much it could cost to sign the young defender.
