Liverpool's grip on top spot in the Premier League slips after a draw with Manchester United, putting their season at risk. They now need Arsenal to stumble or significantly increase their own goal difference.
Having dared to dream for so long, Liverpool are in danger of seeing their season unravel after a difficult few days.
Given the wild abandon and lack of control that have characterised Liverpool's games in recent months, a stumble from the Gunners looks more likely, even if the Reds will argue they have the firepower to significantly add to the margin. But for those with a more fatalistic viewpoint on recent events, a pesky fact remains this weekend: victory against Crystal Palace at Anfield will see Liverpool become Premier League leaders once more.
Only Manchester United have denied them scoring in the Premier League this term and that was before Christmas. With Diogo Jota once more back in contention, that Klopp has his five-man, 82-goal frontline all available to him is another aspect that will understandably concern Palace boss Oliver Glasner.
Jota might have done better with a couple of presentable chances that fell his way on Thursday night but his failure to make more of the couple of headers were understandable given the rust that has accumulated during his near two-month absence with a knee injury.
