If the joyous fans at Anfield on Wednesday celebrated as if they were witnessing a Premier League title in the making, neither Liverpool boss Arne Slot nor his players were getting carried away in what has been an outstanding season,

It's a game neither side can afford to lose as Nottingham Forest and Arsenal look to keep their remote hopes of winning the title alive at the City Ground on Wednesday.  Mikel Arteta's Gunners find themselves 11 points adrift of Liverpool with a game in hand following their hugely damaging defeat at home to London rivals West Ham on Saturday in a match which saw youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off.

At the home of Manchester City, Liverpool produced a performance worthy of champions to move 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League.
