The advantage could be eaten into by Arsenal tomorrow, but the Reds will still be in pole position regardless.

With the Champions League knockout stages, Carabao Cup semi-finals and FA Cup to contend with as well, Arne Slot will have to utilize his squad over the coming months - and he'll need to decide whether he needs to add to it in January.

Martin Zubimendi continues to be linked with a move to Anfield, while the pursuit of Omar Marmoush may have taken a blow.

Meanwhile, Liverpool still needs to settle the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, with the latter having admitted to still being a long way off signing a new deal.

Alexander Isak race

Liverpool has identified Alexander Isak as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, according to The Telegraph.

It's claimed that Newcastle has placed a $188m (£150m/€181m) price tag on the striker ahead of the January transfer window, with Arsenal and PSG also linked.

Jamie Carragher is certainly a big fan, with Isak having been in superb form recently.

Saudi Pro League hand timely Salah boost

The Saudi Pro League looks to have handed Liverpool a boost in its hopes of keeping Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian has of course been linked with a move to the Middle East for some time now, and not doubt there will be more rumors to come in January.

But the Pro League has confirmed all 18 clubs in the competition have the mximum number of overseas players aged 21 and over allowed, meaning they would have to offload some of their stars if they want to sign Salah.

Milos Kerkez switches agents

Milos Kerkez has changed agents ahead of the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Bournemouth left-back has been linked with a move to Liverpool, although Romano suggests that Manchester United is in the driving seat for his signature.

In any case, the Hungarian has now joined Lian Sports ahead of 2025.

The agency, headed by Fali Ramidani, also has Federico Chiesa on its client list, meaning Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes will have already dealt with them.

Robinson and Branthwaite 'discussed'

Antonee Robinson and Jarrad Branthwaite have been discussed as options for Liverpool to buy, according to the Daily Mail.

It's claimed that the Reds could look to bolster their options at left-back, although a deal for Robinson would be more likely in the summer.

Branthwaite is another that is mentioned as a potential target at the end of the season.

Liam Delap 'wanted'

Liverpool is one of a number of teams that want Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, according to the Daily Mail.

The Reds are named alongside Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City.

He certainly made a big impression in his side’s 2-0 win over Chelsea on Monday, scoring from the penalty spot and providing the assist for Omari Hutchinson’s goal.

Martin Zubimendi 'seduced'

Liverpool is still keen on signing Martin Zubimendi, although it could run into a familiar problem, according to Spanish outlet AS.

It's claimed that Zubimendi has been 'seduced' by the idea of moving to the Premier League, with both the Reds and Manchester City keen.

Real Madrid is also said to be in the running though, with Los Blancos seeing him as the long-term successor to Toni Kroos.

Omar Marmoush blow

Arsenal has contacted Eintracht Frankfurt about Omar Marmoush's availability as the Gunners may have stolen a march on Liverpool, according to Caught Offside.

It's claimed that Marmoush has not responded positively to recent contract negotiations with Frankfurt, who are still keen on tying him down to a new deal despite consistent transfer links.

Arsenal is said to be among the clubs put on alert as a result, while Liverpool and Chelsea are described as 'lurking in the background'.

I don't want to put something in the media and people start saying stuff, but nothing has moved and now we're focused on the team.
