45, 43, 13, 17, 17, 54, 20, 16, 27. ELEVEN games in, nine games in which Liverpool have scored, and eight times we have scored before half-time. Thirty goals at 2.72 per game, Jürgen Klopp’s Reds have been relentless and ruthless in their push to the summit of the...

THE Reds. Top of the league. This: – They deserve to be. – Only 11 games gone. – Book nothing for March and April and May. Make no plans. Expect to travel long distances. Prepare to resolve all situations. There is nothing but this right now. How do...
