Robbie Fowler says a Liverpool title triumph this season will be “extra special” after Covid stopped a proper party in 2020.

And the Anfield legend reckons next weeks Merseyside derby is the perfect fixture for a Kop return to action after painful defeats in the Champions League and Carabao Cup final.

Liverpool ended a 30-year wait for a top-flight title five years ago under their former boss Jurgen Klopp.

But although thousands of fans gathered outside Anfield to celebrate a 19th crown, supporters had been urged by authorities to stay home because of the coronavirus.

After whispers of the Quadruple, the Premier League title is now the only silverware that Arne Slot can win in his first season at the club.
