Deal or no deal time at Anfield

LIVERPOOL are winning the battle for the Premier League title - but plenty of players could still be fighting for their futures.

The Reds are running away with the title race having amassed a 12-point lead over Arsenal with just nine games to go.

But there's a growing feeling that there could still be a summer of change in store at Anfield.

The futures of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold all remain in doubt, with the trio out of contract at the end of the season.

And how their contract talks pan out could have a knock-on effect to other parts of the squad.

Will Liverpool need a new starting centre-back?

Will they need another right-sided player for Arne Slot's three-pronged front line, or will they need competition for Conor Bradley at full-back?

They may not need any of those positions filled if Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold stay, but there are other areas where there still might be change.
