Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is employing the same mindset as Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in the title race. Just keep winning.
City went on a 12-game winning run between November and mid-January to open up a double-figures gap at the top of the Premier League, as Liverpool and Chelsea struggled for form in that period. However, City's draw at Southampton this weekend offered Liverpool a chance to reduce the lead at the top to nine points, and the chasers took it with a controversial win at Crystal Palace.
Liverpool raced into a two-goal lead at Selhurst Park, but were pegged back in the second period and Palace went into the closing stages with the momentum as they looked for an equaliser. Their chances were ended when the Video Assistant Referee urged referee Kevin Friend to give a laughable penalty to Liverpool for an apparent foul on Diogo Jota.
