    As a neutral fan, and from what I have seen from Luton Town, performances particularly against the top clubs, I really hope they do not get relegated as it would be a real shame!

    This Liverpool team continue to surprise me! Klopp must of given one hell of a half-time talk. Never give up lads!!

    Fist pumps from Jurgen Klopp. His patched-up side got the job done in the end.

    What a performance from the Reds tonight. A potential massive banana skin especially given the injuries Liverpool have.

    Alan

    As a team you make your own luck. Have to give it to Liverpool they've deserved the win even after so many injuries. Title race is going the distance.

    Anmar

    So much for all the negative texts earlier! Anyone who has been watching Liverpool this season should be well aware of the resilience they keep displaying.

    Great spirited performance from Liverpool. Sick of reading messages sent in every week saying 'just give the title to City'. Liverpool and Arsenal have held their own, and if City were so omnipotent, they wouldn't be relying on winning the title by the skin of their teeth on the last day of the season so often.

    A goal for the milestone man!

    Harvey Elliott stands in front of The Kop and salutes fans as he finds the top corner on his 100th appearance for the club.

    A lovely moment too for Jayden Danns who was heavily involved in the goal.

    Liverpool want the full time whistle as much as Luton do.

    They don't want any more injuries.

    Joe Gomez is pleading his innocence after Andy Madley shows the Liverpool player a yellow card for a foul.

    Around five minutes of normal time left. Liverpool need one more goal to become the first Premier League club to net 100 goals in all competitions this season.

    Will they get it before full-time?

    Lots of nerves watching the first half, but the quality comes through in the end. The flexibility of the squad is on show in the light of so many injuries - lots of routes to goals.

    Olivia

    This Liverpool squad has depth, youth and versatility, and the desire to keep winning; Carabao Cup is well on even without some big names.
