Liverpool are on the edge of glory, it seems.
The Reds beat Manchester United on Sunday 2-0 and, in doing so, they took their lead at the top of the table to a huge 16 points. After just 22 matches – they have a game in hand on their title “rivals” – they appear to have the title all but sewn up. It is surely only a matter of time before they are officially crowned as champions.

They were without a number of players this weekend, with the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri all unavailable. The latter found himself once again on the sidelines after picking up an injury prior to the clash, but a fitness update says that he will be in contention quickly.
Some supporters are happy with the news that he will not be out for too long.
With a busy end of the campaign coming up, Jurgen Klopp will surely want the Switzerland international to return as soon as possible.
One fan, meanwhile, compared him to a former Liverpool man who had plenty of issues with injuries.
The supporters should hope that this is not the case – the 30-year-old missed 99 games during his time with Liverpool due to a series of injuries.
One fan, meanwhile, felt sympathy for Shaqiri.
It certainly must be difficult to spend time on the sidelines.
The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to AS Roma during this January transfer window. It seems that a lot fans have been contemplating him moving on, although they have differing degrees of compassion for the former Stoke City man.
Given that he played a part in Liverpool’s Champions League victory last season – he provided an assist in the semi-final victory against Barcelona, a match which he started – perhaps some could show him a little more respect.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
