Mohamed Salah is preparing for Liverpool's title party after scoring in a 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Wednesday to move to the brink of winning the English top-flight for the first time in 30 years. Liverpool will be champions on Thursday if Manchester City do not win at Chelsea, or with a point when they travel to City on July 2. "Two points to go to win the league, it's great," said Salah. "I feel great. Since I came here I said I want to win the Premier League. The city did not win it for a long time. "Last year we had a chance but Man City also played really well and deserved it.

It's our time to win the league." Trent Alexander-Arnold opened the floodgates with a brilliant free-kick as Liverpool looked far slicker than in a 0-0 draw at Everton on Sunday in their first match for three months. Salah doubled the hosts' advantage just before half-time and goals from Fabinho and Sadio Mane after the break rounded off a fine team performance despite the eery atmosphere of an empty Anfield. "For the first game back at Anfield, it couldn't have gone any better," said Alexander-Arnold.
