Liverpool host Southampton at Anfield this afternoon and the question now seems to be when and how they win the Premier League title, rather than if.
With 70 points gathered already, the Reds are on the verge of clinching their first Premier League title for 30 years and there is a real possibility of going the whole season unbeaten, as well as reaching the highest points tally in the league's history.
Southampton are having a fine season, currently sitting in ninth, and the Saints can treat this one as a free hit with the chance to cause a shock. Follow it live:

Leicester 0 - 0 Chelsea
27 mins: That's a big save from Caballero, he looks focussed today and he's just denied Jamie Vardy the opening goal.
Chelsea respond with Hudson-Odoi. He passes the ball into the box for Abraham. Abraham lets the ball run and it's collected but Mount. Mount lines up a shot but is dispossessed before he can take it.
Leicester 0 - 0 Chelsea
30 mins: Jonny Evans brings Pedro to ground as Chelsea were in a promising position. The free kick is just over 20-yards from goal and Mount takes it... but hits the wall.
Leicester 0 - 0 Chelsea
33 mins: Tielemens slots the ball past Hudson-Odoi and out to Ben Chilwell. Chilwell has a lot of space to run into on Chelsea's right hand side. He takes his time advancing to the box before pulling the ball back to Barnes. Barnes shoots but leans back and sends the ball way over the bar!
Leicester 0 - 0 Chelsea
36 mins: Leicester win a corner that Maddison takes. A high ball comes to Chilwell who climbs on top of a bouncing ball and hits one with his left foot. He catches it well but the shot goes over the goal.

45+2 mins: Goalless at half time. Unbelievably. Chelsea have often looked as though they were going to score but haven't. Leicester have had a couple of good chances but have been denied by some good defence from the visitors.
The last act of the first half sees Choudhury head a Leicester corner wide of goal.
