If Manchester City do not beat Chelsea on Thursday then the title will be Liverpool’s without kicking a ball. Even victory for Pep Guardiola’s side means the Reds could secure the title at the Etihad a week later. Salah, Andy Robertson and Georginio Wijnaldum returning to the team made a significant difference as Liverpool’s starting XI was arguably the strongest Klopp could pick. Salah’s 17th league goal of the season took him within two of Leicester’s Jamie Vardy in his quest for a third successive Golden Boot. The goalkeeper was then fortunate Wijnaldum shot straight at him from close range as Liverpool began to cut open their opponents at will.
