Leicester and Chelsea occupy second and third. Despite their healthy lead, Liverpool know from their experiences last season that they can’t afford to slip up. Andy Robertson, who assisted Salah’s goal, was especially keen to make that point – but he knows his side are now in with a great chance of claiming the title at the end of the season.“Last year, especially at the back end of the season, both us and Man City just weren’t dropping points,” Robertson told Sky Sports. “We kept on winning, that’s why the points tally was so high. We believe that if we keep going like that, you know, if we keep getting 97 points, one year we’re going to win the league! “Hopefully we can just keep going game by game, as boring as it is. That’s exactly what we have to do.“It worked well for us last year and it’s worked well for us so far this year.“We’ve beaten Man City at home and it’s a big result for us, but we still need to keep going after the international break, it’s the toughest period over Christmas.”</blockquote>
