da 888casino: It was another monumental weekend for Liverpool in their quest for a first league title in 30 years.
da marjack bet: Firstly, they left themselves needing just three more victories to lift the Premier League trophy after beating Bournemouth 2-1 at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds had gone behind, but Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were on hand to turn the game around.
That will likely have been enough to please Jurgen Klopp this weekend, but there was still more good news to come.

On Sunday, Manchester United hosted Manchester City in their local derby – the Citizens are the Merseyside outfit’s closest rivals in the table, albeit over 20 points behind – and it was the home side who prevailed 2-0. Pep Guardiola’s men’s defeat now means that they trail by 25 points. Even though they have a game in hand, Klopp’s team need just six more points – two wins – to confirm their status as champions.
As it stands, the potential league-winning clash could come against Crystal Palace at Anfield on March 21st. On paper, it should be an easy enough victory – they are currently 43 points ahead of the Eagles, who are in 11th place – but a historic fixture between the two makes it a far more intriguing encounter.
Arguably the closest Liverpool have been to winning the title in the past 10 years was in 2013/14. Whilst they only missed out on the title last season by one point, they were three points ahead with three matches left six years ago. Then, they followed up a loss against Chelsea with a draw against Palace in the most dramatic of circumstances. 3-0 up with less than 20 minutes left, the Reds collapsed, allowing their opponents to score three times to secure a point.
Winning the title against a side who all but ended their title hopes previously would be a fitting end to the title race, and would allow Liverpool to banish the ghosts of their past. Given their displays this season, you cannot begrudge them of that.
Meanwhile, this Liverpool target trumps Roberto Firmino in one key area.
