Only one team can stop Liverpool winning the title now ...Middle East

Trent Alexander-Arnold will end up the unwelcome focus this week as Liverpool failed to win at Anfield for only the third time under Arne Slot. Out of sorts and too often out of position, he was a neat symbol for Liverpool’s levels dropping several notches – and their coach, surprisingly, getting out-thought.

Real’s mischief-making bid last week, on reflection, did not do him any favours. While Virgil van Dijk (imperious again here) and Salah retain the sympathy of the Kop – who continue to unfurl banners urging Fenway Sports Group to cough up for their new contracts – the relationship with Alexander-Arnold is becoming more complicated. There is a sense his exit is simply a matter of time as Spanish confidence grows.

Indeed after scoring 14 goals in their previous three games – 11 in the dismantling of Tottenham Hotspur and then West Ham United over Christmas – Liverpool carried the look of a team who had bought into the idea that Manchester United were simply there for the taking at Anfield.

But before anyone prods the red alert button, Liverpool’s misstep here might actually work in their favour. Previous dropped points – think a late lapse at Newcastle United last month – resulted in the team responding emphatically.

This was not a defeat, though, and there were a couple of spells when Liverpool returned fire on their bitter rivals. In the second of those – prompted by Cody Gakpo’s superb leveller – the Reds almost escaped with the three points thanks to Salah’s coolly hit penalty.

After Arsenal dropped points to Brighton & Hove Albion again on Saturday, there was the chance to go eight points clear with a game in hand. That Liverpool ended it with status quo preserved – and a nagging sense of disappointment – is a testament to the understated magic Slot has conjured.

They have been so effortlessly excellent that when things do not quite go to plan, it jars. But this felt like further proof that the only team that can beat Liverpool to the title this season is themselves.
