When the leaders finally end their much-delayed pursuit of the Premier League title in a stadium without fans, the unique circumstances will not diminish their achievement
So, where were we? Ah, that’s right. An all-conquering Liverpool were just about to wrap up the Premier League title, with every chance of exceeding 100 points and so setting a record.
The memories flood back. The commanding figure of Virgil van Dijk at the back. The focused energy in midfield. The full-backs tearing up the wings at every opportunity. That lightning fast and deadly front three, so artfully put together with the pace and threat coming from wide as Roberto Firmino drops off to create space. Remorseless winners who … lost four of their last six games (including three in cups) before the shutdown.
