With Aston Villa dropping points at Fulham, Arne Slot’s side has moved into fourth place, putting them in the driver's seat for Champions League qualification. We break down the goals from Alexander Isak, Andy Robertson, and Florian Wirtz that have put the Reds in a commanding position with just weeks left in the season.

However, the win was overshadowed by a worrying injury to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian king was forced off with a suspected hamstring tear, and with reports suggesting he could face four weeks on the sidelines, we discuss whether we have seen the last of Salah in a Liverpool shirt before his summer departure.

Also on the agenda: How Liverpool capitalized on Villa's slip-up to take control of their European destiny. Analyzing the impact of Mo’s injury and how Slot navigates the final games without his talisman. We look back at the bizarre Crystal Palace goal from Daniel Muñoz, scored while goalkeeper Freddie Woodman lay injured. Isak’s Impact and how the striker continues his fine form as he helps spearhead the late-season surge.

With the Reds looking to solidify their grip on the top five, the panel dives into Arne Slot’s pre-match press conference and the major talking point of the week: Alisson Becker. Following reports linking the Brazilian shot-stopper with a potential summer move to Juventus, the boss has provided a fresh update on Alisson’s recovery from injury and whether he features in the plans for the weekend.

Can Liverpool avoid another slip-up against an Eagles side that has proven to be a thorn in their side this season?

With Giorgi Mamardashvili sidelined, we discuss the likelihood of Freddie Woodman stepping up.

There are also predicted XIs and score predictions ahead of Saturday's 3pm kick-off.
