Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa stretched Liverpool's lead over Premier League title rivals Arsenal to eight points, but with the Gunners hosting West Ham on Saturday, Arne Slot will expect that to be cut before the leaders return to action on Sunday.

Of course, one thing that still looks strange when glancing at the Premier League table is the fact that Manchester City, owners of the last four league titles, aren't more of a factor, sitting in fourth place a whopping 17 points off the pace.
