Make some room on the f------ perch, Liverpool are back. They now share space with Manchester United, sole occupiers since winning their 19th top-flight title in 2011. United went two ahead with Sir Alex Ferguson’s final fling in 2012-13 but with Jürgen Klopp’s Covid title and now Arne Slot’s dream debut season the rivals are together again,

Congratulations are in order. Liverpool eased to Premier League glory this season and that is testament to the incredible standards they now hold themselves too, from the manager down to the tea lady.
