Liverpool can stretch their winning Premier League run to seven matches when they travel to relegation-threatened Leicester on Monday evening.
The Reds moved to within a point of fourth-place Manchester United by beating Brentford 1-0 last week and increased the pressure on the Red Devils the Champions League race. Mohamed Salah's first-half strike proved to be the different between the sides at Anfield.
However, Erik ten Hag's United still have a game in hand on their rivals in the running for a top-four spot, with Newcastle also in the same situation. The Magpies sit three points ahead of Liverpool but, like United, have played one fewer game than Liverpool. But Jurgen Klopp's men will fancy their chances of winning their remaining matches, with Leicester, Aston Villa and Southampton to go.
