Close'These are all finals' - Klopp on Liverpool's title run-in

Liverpool are hosting Brighton in the Premier League this afternoon as the Reds seek to steal a march in the title race.

Only one point separates the top three and, with Arsenal and Manchester City facing off later, Liverpool have the chance to go top and gain some ground over one or both of their rivals.

However, Darwin Nunez is available after overcoming a hamstring issue.

Brighton are chasing a European place as Roberto De Zerbi continues to impress on the south coast with his slick brand of football – so much so that the Italian has been linked with the Liverpool job when Klopp departs this summer.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is injured and will play no part in today’s match, spoke to Sky Sports during the build-up saying:

“You get a feeling when you come out on to the pitch that there’s a little bit of magic in the air and hopefully it can go our way.

You know how intense these games are so you need to make sure you’re ready for it and going into the game full confidence.”

1711888519How Joe Gomez completed remarkable comeback to help salvage Liverpool’s title bid

Joe Gomez’s stunning resurgence has been crucial to Liverpool keeping their head above water in this season’s title race – and this doesn’t look set to change as the club braces itself for an intense title climax.

A player who had been straddling on the club’s fringes for four years – perennially linked with a transfer away – Gomez has turned from an injury-prone liability to Jurgen Klopp’s ever-available utility man.

Filling in and excelling across the Reds’ back-line as injuries mounted, the 26-year-old’s dependability hasn’t gone unnoticed - earning a first England call-up since 2020 for a pair of friendlies in late March.
