Mailbag: Will Arne Slot’s title win hurt Jürgen Klopp’s legacy?
Arne Slot is closing in on his first Premier League title in his debut season with Liverpool and his team have hardly put a foot wrong. But should Slot get all the credit for winning a league title with a squad largely assembled by his predecessor? And will history unfairly judge Klopp's tenure at Liverpool after taking nine years to win as many Premier League titles as Slot will do in one?
Elsewhere, Marcus, Jim & Andy give their takes on Jamie Carragher's AFCON comments, plus they pick their best five-a-side teams based on players they share a birthday with.
