Check out your complete guide to Liverpool's 2019/20 season ahead of the Premier League restart.

Liverpool are about to win the Premier League playing Sir Alex Ferguson football. That's a statement not designed to be incendiary, but indeed the highest compliment you could really afford to a team as a neutral.

Fergie's United were relentless and adaptable, they didn't stick to one style, they simply always found a way to win regardless of the task ahead of them. In the same way, Liverpool have romped to a 22-point lead in the title race by selecting the right tools at the right time from their Swiss army knife squad.

They can win ugly, and that's why they'll win ultimately. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will receive the plaudits, but their success is displayed on a pedestal of hard workers: Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner to name a few.

A couple of wobbles prior to lockdown have been forgotten, you could put it down to exhaustion, you could put it down to complacency, but you simply can't use such limited evidence to suggest any other scenario than red ribbons on the trophy by July.
