After an infuriating and controversial draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby, Arne Slot's side is straight back into Premier League action, where it will look to put things right over the next five fixtures.

There is some solace in the fact that this was, after all, a game in hand over Arsenal — it was effectively a free hit, and the reality is that Liverpool has extended its advantage at the top of the Premier League.

That fixture comes on Sunday, the second in an intense run that sees Liverpool play five matches in the space of 15 days.



The threat of Unai Emery's team is well-known, and Slot's side will need to be at its best to come away with three points.

To add to the stakes, Arsenal will only play one match in the time that Liverpool plays these two, so Slot has the chance to move 10 points clear.

On the plus side, Manchester City will be returning from its own midweek trip, where it will attempt to come from behind to beat Real Madrid and move to the next phase of the Champions League

It will be a dress rehearsal for the following month's Carabao Cup final, although the league fixture is arguably even more important to Slot.

This sequence of matches sees Liverpool contest three consecutive top-eight encounters

Pull it off, and Liverpool will truly feel as though the Premier League title is in sight
