Since the turn of the year, Liverpool have been the most in-form Premier League team.
The Reds have not lost a league game since December 28 - a 1-0 defeat by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Jurgen Klopp's side have gone on to win 14 of their last 17 top-flight matches, dropping just six points in the process.
After Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Chelsea on January 2, the Reds sat a mammoth 11 points behind leaders Manchester City with 18 games to play. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were heading off to the Africa Cup of Nations, leaving the Anfield light up front and in danger of being cut adrift in pursuit of their second title in three seasons.
