BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering fan questions on all things Premier League.

Kev asked: How worried should Liverpool be about their reliance on Mohamed Salah's goals and assists. First time in years with so few players up for top goalscorer and assists.

Phil answered: All the best teams still rely on their great players, so I don't think Liverpool will be too worried, especially with Cody Gakpo in a rich vein of scoring form.

We also saw a very significant development on Saturday with the goalscoring return of Diogo Jota against Fulham.

There is actually a case to be made that he is Liverpool's most clinical finisher. If they can keep him fit then he is a huge weapon in their attacking armoury.
