Who do Liverpool need more from to get over the line?
Liverpool's players have largely been exemplary this season. After all, the Reds are 12 points clear going into the final nine games and virtual shoo-ins for Premier League glory.
However, Mohamed Salah needs some more help up top. He has carried the attack this term but looked a little tired in the big matches before the international break.
Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez simply have not contributed enough. Federico Chiesa came on in the Carabao Cup final, looked lively and scored, so perhaps we will see some more of the Italian, with Cody Gakpo also out of form.
In midfield, we need Ryan Gravenberch back to his best from the beginning of the campaign. In fairness, Arne Slot has run him into the ground, and hopefully the fact he has been sent away from Netherlands duty on a precautionary basis will enable him to recharge his batteries.
Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have all had good seasons, but it would be handy if they could chip in with a few more goals given the enormous reliance on Salah.
At the back, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate have a brilliant partnership, but it is not looking great at full-back. Andy Robertson is having a poor season and a new left-back will be signed in the summer. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are injured, leaving Jarrell Quansah as the right-back option.
If Salah can find his ruthless best, however, Liverpool will have the title wrapped up before the end of April.
