Arne Slot&rsquo;s men were defensively solid to protect a sixth clean sheet in 11 league games and take a firm grip on the title race.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister conceded that even he was not sure if the Reds could challenge for the title. &ldquo;If we are top of the league by five points, it means something. If you asked me before the season started I would not say we were candidates but now it looks like we are,&rdquo; said the Argentine international.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interestingly, the Anfield crowd was all up by news of Man City&rsquo;s 1-2 defeat at Brighton moments earlier.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Liverpool though were then dealt a blow as Trent Alexander-Arnold hobbled off with a muscle injury that is likely to rule him out of England duty in the coming weeks.</p>
