REDS GO ALISSON

LIVERPOOL are just two wins away from winning this season’s Premier League title ahead of Sunday’s visit to Leicester City. 

With six games to play, the Reds are on 76 points – 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal on 63 points. 

That means, if the Gunners win all six of their remaining matches they will finish on 81 points. Two wins for the Reds would then take them to 82 points and secure them the title. 

However, victory for coach Arne Slot’s manne at Leicester on Sunday at 5.30pm coupled with what will be a big shock if Ipswich beat Arsenal at 3pm, will see the Reds crowned champions this weekend. 

Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson is feeling the excitement already and says they’ll gooi alles in on Sunday. 

Alisson tells the team’s website: “I think to this point we always come here to speak with you guys, with the media, and we say, ‘okay, we have to focus for the next challenge and don’t think too much about the points [or] the advantage,’ because it is what we believe is the right thing to do.

“Not only to show that we are humble or anything like that [but] because it’s what you need to do, you need to focus on the next challenge in front of you otherwise you don’t move forward.

“But now it’s getting really close we are at the point we cannot avoid anymore to talk about this and we just have to show the right attitude in front of the fans in the games we have to play… working hard, fighting so hard for the whole game and really showing that we want to win this competition so hard.

“It’s what we did for the whole season and it’s what we have to keep doing – and I believe it’s what we are going to do for the next games.”
