The Premier League title remains within touching distance for Liverpool despite a frustrating weekend.

The Reds still hold on to an eleven-point lead at the top, but a shock defeat to Fulham meant that they failed to extend the lead to fourteen.

Arsenal dropped more points on Saturday as they played a hard-fought draw against Everton at Goodison Park and the opportunity was there for the taking.

Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring on Sunday as Liverpool visited Craven Cottage but three quick-fire goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz put the game beyond Liverpool’s reach, with a second-half consolation goal from Luis Diaz not enough to rescue anything from the game.

Liverpool will be looking for an immediate response as they host West Ham at Anfield this weekend.

Caoimhin Kelleher has started the last two Premier League games as Alisson continues to suffer from a concussion sustained during the last international break.

Arne Slot has preferred Curtis Jones at right-back in the last two games over Jarell Quansah, as Conor Bradley works his way back to fitness and with Alexander-Arnold out injured.

It was noted during the game at Fulham that defensive frailties led to the collapse in the first half.

Fans will be eagerly anticipating the return of key players such as Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold and there is now a clearer picture of when the pair will return to action.

Following the defeat at Fulham, Arne Slot said on Alisson: “It’s concussion and as we all know you have to tick all the boxes.

Next week hopefully he can player but the protocol means not yet.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold suffered an ankle injury against PSG in the Champions League a month ago, and whilst he has been working hard to return to fitness, it has been his seemingly imminent move to Real Madrid that has dominated the headlines.

Arne Slot when asked about Trent’s potential return date, said that the English right-back “will not be back in the upcoming weeks.”

This will result in Alexander-Arnold facing a race against time to feature for Liverpool again this season, with only eight games of the campaign remaining.

A positive update on Alisson, as it seems that he will feature at on Sunday, but increasing concern builds around Alexander-Arnold, as his story at Liverpool reaches its conclusion.
