23 h. ago Michael Owen wrong to claim winning the league not enough, says Arne Slot

Slot: ‘Nothing else matters’ if Liverpool win league titleOwen suggested cup exits left ‘bitter taste’ on seasonArne Slot has hit back at Michael Owen’s suggestion that the Premier League title would not be enough for Liverpool this season by insisting nothing matters more than becoming champions of England again.The former Liverpool striker was taken to task by Virgil van Dijk after the Merseyside derby on Wednesday for claiming the campaign was “building into something really special” until Slot’s team exited the Champions League and lost the Carabao Cup final. Owen agreed it would still be special for Liverpool to win the title for a record-equalling 20th time but with the caveat that the two cup defeats in six days would leave “a bitter taste”.

3 d. ago Diogo Jota breaks down Everton’s blue wall as Liverpool move closer to title

The 246th Merseyside derby was as much of a cathartic release for Liverpool as another step closer to a 20th league title. Arne Slot’s side cleansed themselves of recent torment against Everton and two deflating cup defeats with a hard-fought but deserved victory courtesy of Diogo Jota’s fine individual goal. A maximum of 13 points is all that is required from the remaining eight games of the season to put the Premier League trophy on display at Anfield once again.There was a determination to seize control of the derby from the start by Liverpool and, unlike the previous two encounters at Goodison Park, a composure in possession that enabled them to do so. The painful Champions League exit and deserved Carabao Cup final defeat that preceded the international break, plus of course memories of their last run-in with Everton 49 days ago, may also have fuelled the hunger and intensity of a team closing in on the Premier League title.

Premier League updates from the 8pm BST kick-offLive scores | Read Football Daily | And email ScottA pre-match palate-whetter, courtesy of friend of the site Steve Pye. “I wondered if you might be interested in a blog of mine looking back at Nottingham Forest dramatically beating Man Utd in December 1984?” Sure thing! “For the second time in two weeks, Ron Atkinson’s team threw away a two-goal lead on the road, with a couple of their players coming to blows in the dressing room after the match.”The return of the Premier League, then. It’s been a while, what with World Cup qualifiers, the Nations League, FA Cup quarters, all that. So here’s a reminder of how the division looks as we head into this full round of midweek fixtures. Forest are looking to consolidate third spot, as they chase a Champions League spot and a chance to bid for European Cup number three.
