At first it was just a small section of fans singing it.

‘Liverpool, Liverpool, top of the league… Liverpool, top of the league’ they chanted after Curtis Jones marked his 100th Premier League appearance by sweeping his side into a 2-1 lead against struggling Leicester.

It was much louder after Mohamed Salah scored his 19th club goal of the season in the 82nd minute to seal a 3-1 win.

Having fallen behind in the fifth minute, Liverpool were well on their way to a win that propelled them seven points clear at the top with one game in hand on their nearest rivals.

Of course, Liverpool have been here before.

In the 2018-19 season, they led by 10 points only for Manchester City to win the title.

“It feels different,” Salah, who is out of contract in the summer, told Amazon Prime about Liverpool’s advantage at the top after overcoming Leicester.

“But the most important thing is we need to stay humble.

“This one is very special, hopefully we win the Premier League and for this club it is something I dream of.

“The most important thing is the team winning – hopefully we win the Premier League.

“It is great, but we focus on each game and hopefully we carry on like that.”
