There is a Premier League to be won, and boy does Ibrahima Konate know it.

The Frenchman arrived one year after Liverpool broke their title curse now four years later stands in line to win his first personally, and his latest comment to Mohamed Salah has proven just how much he wants to get over the line.

In a rare weekend without English top-flight football to look forward to Liverpool can consolidate their prime position to lift the trophy this campaign.



The latest set of results stamped further authority on the title race by establishing a 13-point lead over Arsenal, and by extension even further ahead of the rest of the chasing pack.

With that, the discussion has turned into when rather than if the Reds are going to be Premier League champions this year - a stark contrast to feelings of dismay as little as 10 days ago.

Bar the six weeks he has been injured this season Konate has been imperious in defence.

He can therefore give himself much credit towards the ongoing title push, though for now the 25-year-old is actually happy to publicly rely on Salah for his efforts.

The Egyptian posted a picture to Instagram on Friday night to celebrate the start of Ramadan for 2025, putting up household decorations with his daughter by standing on his sofa.

His teammate summed up the feelings of Reds supporters globally in just four words, commenting: "Brother be careful please."

A proud member of the Islamic faith himself, Konate will understand the significance of the holy month starting, but who could also blame his fears of a most unfortunate injury mishap?

After all, it Salah's wisdom gained over a long career has only made him into the clinical attacker we have witnessed this season.

Elevating his game under Arne Slot, 25 goals and 17 assists have made him the driving force of this current Liverpool team.

Losing that now with only 10 more fixtures to go would be devastating, even if the club have been predicted a 98.81 percent likelihood of winning the Premier League by Opta.
