We asked for your thoughts after Liverpool beatLeicester City on Sunday to close in on the title:

Here are some of your comments:

Roger: Never looked like losing but made heavy work of getting the win given our domination. Despite Mohamed Salah's great numbers, he is way off it at the moment. He must have had six scoring opportunities and for someone of his class, should certainly have scored three. Trent Alexander-Arnold showed what we are going to miss if he goes. Conor Bradley is a good player but has some rough edges and it was evident in this game. Pleased to see Harvey Elliot get a chance off the bench and I feel he deserves a start next up. Either way, we are now on the brink and all the credit must go to Arne Slot, his staff and the players.

Kenny: Fantastic win - but how did we miss so many chances? Leaves us with a perfect opportunity to beat Spurs next and to celebrate in front of our fans. We owe so much to Virgil van Dijk, Salah and TAA.

Paul: Champions always find a way to win when not at their best. Really pleased for Trent to get the winner and to see what it meant to him.

Les: Another lethargic display but they got the job done. What stood out for me is that Bradley is not the answer to fill the gap if Trent leaves. He's simply not ready - he's still learning.

Chris: Was it the most scintillating display? No. Did it need to be? No. The title is all but sewn up and I have zero problem with taking our foot off of the pedal if it means we can start next season far more refreshed. I loved Jurgen Klopp to bits but the fact that under Slot we've sauntered to the title with an identical team should surely make us ask the unthinkable - did Klopp under-achieve?

Suzy: I'm fed up of us getting criticised for not demolishing teams by four or five goals and supposedly not playing 'entertaining football'. Well, you know what, we've done that and got the 97 points and got the runners-up accolade. You don't have to be the most entertaining to be the best. We've been the best and the most consistent. One win to go. Haters can hate. Come on you. Reds! Bring home number 20!
