Alisson’s return means Liverpool are almost at full strength as they close in on the Premier League title
The Premier League trophy is within Liverpool’s reach following a dream weekend.
Last weekend Arne Slot’s side were beaten by Fulham as they fell to just a second league defeat of the season, but they bounced back against West Ham with captain Virgil van Dijk netting a late winner on Sunday.
As a result, the Reds they are now 13 points clear of nearest challengers Arsenal with six games remaining and there is a scenario where they are crowned champions as early as this weekend.
In more positive news for Liverpool, Alisson Becker made his return form injury to further ease Slot’s concerns in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez.

Arne Slot said ahead of the Fulham match that Alexander-Arnold will “not be back in the upcoming weeks”, which could leave him in a race against time to play for Liverpool again.
Potential return date: May 2025
It is now nearly two months since Joe Gomez made his last appearance.
The versatile defender missed all of January’s action with a hamstring injury and then suffered a setback inside ten minutes on his return against Plymouth in the FA Cup.
The problem required surgery, leaving a return in the final games of the season as the best-case scenario for Gomez.

Potential return date: May 2025
Midfielder Tyler Morton suffered a shoulder injury in February, with Slot suggesting at the time that the 22-year-old would be out for at least a month.
However, reports then indicated a more serious problem that would require surgery, potentially ending Morton’s season.
Potential return date: Summer 2025
