Liverpool thrash Leicester to open up 13-point Premier League lead

Alexander-Arnold was stunning. His deliveries into the box were on the money nearly every time.

Savage stuff from the Reds, they keep making tough games look easy.

And as the made men said of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, 'and dat's dat'.

The trio (Mane, Salah, Firmino) was impressive.

Liverpool 's big victory against Leicester should send a stern warning to other attacking teams in the EPL and around Europe.

It's a massive win. The Liverpool squad looks good to go far on several fronts. Well played.

This shows the quality gap between Liverpool and the rest of the teams near the top of the PL. Leicester were made to look like an amateur team, who barely touched the ball apart from a ten minute spell.

It looks like the PL title is in the bag.

That’s true. You also have to say Leicester were very poor, particularly when you consider they were at home. Teams much lower in the league have made Liverpool work much harder than that. Leicester never looked like they believed they could get anything from this game even in the first 10 minutes.

I seem to remember Liverpool had a 9-point lead this time last year and they still lost the race.

Also, never forget Newcastle United's infamous collapse in the mid-90's as well as Man Utd's a couple of seasons later.

It ain't over until the points show they can't be beaten.

Saying that, it would be nice to see Liverpool finally get the title again after 30 years.

TAA's brilliant, and would get more plaudits if Robertson on the other side wasn't very good as well.

Liverpool look unstoppable. They have the record they have without Alisson for ten? games, so I can't see them losing it now. He's as close to an unreplaceable player as they have.

I think it was actually 10 points, although Citeh had a game in hand so that lead was quite brief.

If Citeh win their remaining 20 games, they can finish on 98 points. Liverpool need to drop 14 points for them to win it. Let's say 3 losses and 3 draws. That could easily happen, but Citeh have to climb the mountain that they did last season and be flawless. I reckon Liverpool could probably afford to drop 20 points and still pip it. Citeh have been shafted a bit on the festive games compared to Liverpool and I think Pep and the club are already thinking about putting everything to the Champions League; the club are just a regional bully until they win that.

Anything less than a win at Wolves today and it's all over (but I'm not allowed to even think that)
