The Mo Salah situation is obviously one that will continue to dominate the headlines. Whether he’s there for the Brighton game on Saturday we shall wait and see, and we may know more when Arne Slot speaks to the media ahead of the game later this week.
But whatever happens, Salah will then be away anyway for the Africa Cup of Nations. That will allow some of the dust to settle, allow some breathing space and help to keep the focus on what’s happening on the pitch. Time will tell.

And there are signs of a mini-revival. OK, the draw at Leeds felt like a defeat, in fact you have to remind yourself it WASN’T a defeat, but the win at the San Siro was like the old Liverpool in many ways and surely it will give the team a big lift, despite everything that has been going on this week.
Four games unbeaten, including two away wins with clean sheets – but that has to continue, and that includes at home, where Liverpool have not won since early November. But three games in a week with a European trip thrown in is never easy.
