In recent weeks Liverpool have struggled with injuries and this has started to show on the pitch after two 1-1 draws at home to Leicester City followed by West Ham United away. Although the reds managed to get back on track on Saturday with a 3-0 victory against Eddie Howe's Bournemouth, they are still in need of a boost to get the team over the line in the race for the title.
The next few weeks will see the return of key players such as Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold who have both been a huge part of a defence which has kept 14 clean sheets in 26 Premier League matches this season.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also set to return to training towards the end of this month, which will give the team a huge boost. Oxlade-Chamberlain has been sidelined he suffered ligament damage in his knee back in April during the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Roma.
His energy and presence in the midfield are what has at some points this season been slightly lacking and he will almost feel like a new signing. The Englishman can be the driving force from the middle of the park and the link between the midfield and attack.
With 12 games to go in the Premier League, the return of these key men could be vital in Liverpool’s pursuit of the Premier League title. The Reds must also preserve their key players such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohammed Salah whenever it is possible to do so.
The Premier League title is what the supporters have always craved and they will do everything in their power to help this team get across the line. For Liverpool to achieve their goal this year everyone associated with the football club must pull together as a collective towards the back end of the season.
