Liverpool go eight points clear in Premier League, plus Champions ...

Liverpool

'Managing minutes' is a phrase we've heard Arne Slot say over the past few games, but was the Dutchman right to take off goalscorer Trent Alexander-Arnold and forward Diogo Jota when Liverpool were picking up momentum? Granted, the pair are returning from respective injuries, but would waiting another, say, 10 minutes have made the difference?

In hindsight, bringing off Alexander-Arnold was a blessing, as his replacement Conor Bradley left the field injured.

Slot said in his news conference that he would be "very surprised" if Bradley was fit enough to play any part in their next two matches - at Manchester City on Sunday and at home to Newcastle on Wednesday.
