Almost there, folks.

Liverpool moved to within three points of the Premier League title with a tense 1-0 victory at Leicester City on Sunday afternoon that also relegated their hosts.

Substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold netted the only goal five minutes after being introduced in the 71st minute to ensure Arne Slot's side remained 13 points clear at the summit with five games remaining.

"One more win and the Premier League title belongs to Liverpool again.

If they lose then Liverpool will have claimed a 20th league title and Alexander-Arnold will have made the decisive intervention.

"With Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk signing new deals the likelihood remains that Alexander-Arnold will not complete the hat-trick with Real Madrid waiting.

By extension, those who insist his heart has already checked out were proven to be talking garbage."

And in The Mirror, John Cross believes that Liverpool could win the title in front of their own supporters next weekend against Tottenham Hotspur is appropriate.

"It would be far more fitting for Liverpool to win the Premier League in front of their own fans with a victory at Anfield, especially considering the last time they lifted the trophy in 2020 was in an empty stadium during Covid times," he opines.

It was a Liverpool goal that was marked as wildly as any other this season and that it was the vice captain who was saying it with his chest, quite literally, was instructive.

"The shirtless knee slide left little room for interpretation as to his ongoing commitment to the club, even if there was a certain symbolism to be found in Alexander-Arnold seeing his shirt draped over the corner flag a few moments later.
