Arne Slot has earned huge praise for the job he has done this season, and now, the title is Liverpool’s to lose.
Speaking on the , Ian Wright has been discussing this title race, and he says that there’s only one thing that can stop Liverpool winning the league from her🅺e.
Indeed, Wright believes that injuries to key players coul💦d is the only thing that could 𝓡derail Liverpool’s title push.
The only thing that can stop Liverpool winning the league
Wright shared his verdict on the title ra𓃲ce and Liverpool’s hopes.
The pundit says that the only thing that can stop Liverpo♚ol now is aꦗn injury crisis.
“It will only be injuries to key players now. Not even the goalie, they don’t even have their main goalkeep🐈er, but with the way Kelleher is playing, you w🍎ouldn’t believe Alisson can make better saves.
“You have🤪 to think to yourself, that’s the only thing. Even if they do have a mishap like Forest, since then it’s been nothing, faultless. I believe they’ve kicked into a🅺 position now where you need to chase them, they need to lose three or four, I can’t see it.”
Liverpool’s current injury list
Wright says that an injury crisis could derail Liverpool’s seဣason, and we’ve been♛ here before.
Indeed, the Reds have been through this exact scenario in the 🗹past, back in the 2020/21 season.
Liverpool wer༒e top of the league after 14 games in 2020/21, but a clutch of injuries to Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk all at the same time led to the Reds’ form plummeting.
| Liverpool after 14 games 2020/21 | Games | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points |
| 1. Liverpool | 14 | 9 | 4 | 1 | 31 |
| Liverpool finishing position 2020/21 | Games | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points |
| 3. Liverpool | 38 | 20 | 9 | 9 | 69 |
Van Dijk’s injury that season was transformational, and fans were distraught when Van Dijk went down with an ACL problem.
Ultimately, Liverpool had to use Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams at centre-back on a weekly basis that season, and, simply put, those two 🌟weren’t good enough to carry a team to a league title.
Ironically, Liverpool do have a handful of key players out injured right now, so they are coping with something of a makeshift 🎉squad anyway, but if that list grows any further, the Reds could be in trouble.
| Liverpool injury list | Injury |
| Diogo Jota | Chest injury |
| Alisson Becker | Thigh injury |
| Ibrahima Konate | Knee injury |
| Conor Bradley | Thigh injury |
| Federico Chiesa | Unknown |
| Kostas Tsimikas | Unknown |
Luckily, the January transfer window is just a month away, so one or two additions in the right areas should be able to bolster the squad in any 🍃case.
An injury crisis on the scale of 2020/21 ✅is very unlikely, but, it could be season-defining, so the Reds may need to plan for that in the January transfer window.
