Liverpool’s win against Southampton was their 20th win in a row in the Premier League and an additional 18 points in their upcoming matches will permit them to receive a guard of honor reception from Manchester City at the Etihad.

City were beaten by Spurs yesterday, kind courtesy of two goals from Steven Bergwijn and Son in the second half after a controversial VAR drama in the first half. Their loss extended Liverpool’s lead on top of the table to 22, meaning the Reds could go to the Etihad as Champions.

Their next six games include trips to Norwich, Watford and Everton and home games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.

Liverpool are unbeaten in 42 Premier League games, closing in on Arsenal’s record of 49 in 2005. Manchester United are the only side this season to snatch a point from the Reds in the first round of the campaign at Old Trafford. This means that Klopp’s men have beaten every Premier League team.

After missing out on the title by a point last season, Klopp and his players are set to go one better this time around, having won 24 out of their 25 games so far this season.
