Liverpool

MANCHESTER CITY will be desperately hoping to keep Liverpool at arm's length between now and the end of the season.

We have to win all of them, or almost nearly all of them to be champions. Pep Guardiola has insisted that Manchester City will need to win every one of their remaining Premier League matches in order to beat Liverpool to this year's domestic honours at the end of the season. "You have to do a job in nearly all the games. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether City will be able to avoid losing their grip on their position at the summit of the Premier League table over the coming months. The visitors were fortunate to come away with the spoils in spite of their dominance, with every point gained between now and the end of the season likely to be crucial in shaping the result of their ongoing battle with Liverpool. Guardiola is fully aware of the significance of this fixture but is adamant that each and every match needs to be treated equally in order to achieve Premier League glory at the end of the season.

Ibrahima Konate was seen choking on ticker-tape during Liverpool's Carabao Cup winning celebrations. Beside him, Andy Robertson clearly thought it was ...

It was a hearts-in-mouths moment as Kepa Arrizabalaga managed to get a hand on the Frenchman’s spot-kick. Although Konate was fantastic and Joel Matip should have had the winning goal, it was Van Dijk who came away with the Man of the Match trophy on Sunday. After claiming a trophy with The Reds at the first attempt, hopefully Konate can help Liverpool to more this season and beyond.

Alternative angles appear to suggest that nobody was directly beneath where Tsimikas apparently spat. - Liverpool have explained to Sportsmail that he was disposing of chewing gum, rather than spitting, and he is apologetic following the reaction to the footage REVEALED: Liverpool have had to 'remind Kostas Tsimikas of his responsibilities' after disgusted fans spotted him SPITTING GUM into the stands below Wembley's Royal Box after beating Chelsea

LIVERPOOL took the stressful route to Carabao Cup glory on Sunday afternoon.

"And after the game it was nice to celebrate with the people after a long time without having any reason to celebrate something, or not the opportunity to celebrate something. In an attempt to psych out his opponent, the goalkeeper stood well over to the right side of his goal, leaving a tempting open space on the left. After a streak of 21 successful penalties, the last remaining player on the pitch, Kepa Arrizabalaga, stepped up to try and keep the tie alive for Thomas Tuchel's men.

Neil Atkinson's post-match review for The Anfield Wrap after Liverpool 0 Chelsea 0 (11-10 on penalties) in the League Cup final at Wembley...

He is serene and thrashes the ball home top corner. The camera cuts to Alisson Becker in the ground and he looks anguished. Our strategy is normally to take control of the game and grind our opponents down. But the truth is the play wasn’t errant; the truth is that Liverpool’s defending is excellent. He’d take the pain away from the lad. By the 60-minute mark, possession is down to 58-42 to us. What must that be like for a young person at the beginning of his career? The first 10 is Chelsea’s, but the 30 minutes that follows is all us. The mistake never comes. The subs make us less good at football but more good at running. Harvey Elliott doesn’t think he is on the bench. But now a keeper who has just become an Anfield cup legend and a hero in the battle against doubt and questioning yourself.

Garth Crooks has heaped praise on Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher for his heroics in yesterday's Carabao Cup Final victory.

The academy graduate was superb throughout. Yesterday will live long in the memory of the Irishman. He deserved the chance to play in the final and Klopp granted him his wish. A goalkeeper taking the final penalty in a shootout and burying it so comprehensively, he scared the living daylights out of Kepa Arrizabalaga.”
