LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has warned that two players are critical if the Reds are to win the Premier League again this season.
Former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood believes Liverpool must keep Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk fit for the rest of the season if they are to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title. The duo scored three of the Reds' six goals in a 6-0 win over Leeds United on Wednesday night.
Liverpool's ninth consecutive victory in all competitions brought them within three points of Premier League leaders Manchester City, with both teams having played 26 of 38 league games.
Salah scored a pair of penalties in the first half, either side of Joel Matip's finish, on his way to 37 direct goal contributions in just 31 appearances this season.
As he chases a third Golden Boot, the Egyptian has scored seven more goals than any other player in the English top flight, and he is now on 19, needing 14 in the next 12 games to break his own record for the most goals in a 38-game Premier League season.
Meanwhile, after Sadio Mane's brace, Van Dijk added a stoppage-time header from a corner, with all three goals coming in the final 10 minutes at Anfield.
"I don't care who Man City misses; someone else can come in." Yes, it's a blip; we're all looking at the result against Tottenham, but let's not dwell on it. Take a look at what they've done in the past. " Liverpool shares the goals out, but so does Manchester City; they can score from anywhere on the pitch and share the goals out.
"They've been the course and distance, and Liverpool has as well." That's what keeps it interesting until the end of the season.
