Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has said that Liverpool need to keep up their current pace if they are going to win the Premier League.
A hell of a pace to keep up, considering the Reds are 14 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
At this point, everybody has accepted that Liverpool are going to be the 2020 Premier League champions. Everybody apart from the team and their long-suffering supporters, that is.
Perhaps Manchester City still hold out some hope, although they will be relying on a massive slip up from Liverpool. Actually, make that several massive slip ups.

Roberto Firmino has credited manager Jurgen Klopp with returning Liverpool to the summit of English football. If they win the league as expected, it will end a 30 year wait for the title on Merseyside.
“He changed the club a lot generally, in every way, tactically, mentally,” said Roberto Firmino.
“Today we are what we are, not just because of him but he’s responsible for a large portion of our transformation, so I’m really happy to be playing under him, he’s a great coach.
“He changed my game a lot.
“I knew him from playing against Dortmund in Germany.”
“Last year we hit the post in the Premier League, we were upset of course that we didn’t win,” he added.
“We have a chance this season, it’s in our hands.
“We need to keep it up, working hard, following this path with our heads in the right place and a winning mentality.”

“We’ll take things game by game and keep this strong champions mentality up until the end and see where it takes us.
“Of course we’re more confident this season. We’ve been winning all our games, this increases our confidence game by game. We have to continue with this momentum.”
