  1. Bye for nowpublished at 19:36 British Summer Time 21 April

    So, that's all from another exciting day of Premier League action, which left the title race as still very much a three-way thing after Liverpool won at Fulham to go back above Manchester City and level with leaders Arsenal.

    Earlier on, Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa beat Bournemouth while Crystal Palace thumped West Ham 5-2 and Everton claimed a huge win at the bottom of the table, beating relegation rivals Nottingham Forest 2-0.

    There was also drama in the FA Cup today but we'll be back on Tuesday as the title race continues with Arsenal hosting Chelsea. Hope you'll be back with us then.

    On Liverpool's recent poor run and bouncing back, Liverpool goalscorer Trent Alexander-Arnold added to BBC's Match of the Day: "It's been a very tough couple of weeks - a bad run of games, bad run of form, bad run of results - so it's good to be able to turn that and flip that on its head.

    "It was important for us to do that. We knew going into this that we had six games left where we feel as if we have to win every single one to stand a chance to win anything. So it was an important game and there are five more now.

    "It's going to be a difficult week with two more away games but we're confident that if we can replicate what we did today then we should be able to get results. We have to expect five wins from five now to even stand a chance of being able to pick up silverware in a few weeks.

    "It's exciting, though. You've got three teams who are playing outstanding football and I think, for a neutral, it's got to be one of the most exciting seasons. It's very rare you see a three-horse title race and I'm certainly enjoying it, as much pressure as there is. But these are the games you love to play in and they are the ones that matter the most."

    Liverpool goalscorer Trent Alexander-Arnold speaking to BBC's Match of the Day about his free-kick: "It felt good and it looked good, from what I saw - the lads told me it was very good! You can tell from their smiles and how excited they are that it was a good finish. It was exciting to score again.

    "It's been a tough couple of months for me - not being able to play and do what I love - so it's an amazing feeling to be back out there. I'm enjoying my football and feeling like I'm playing well, as well. It's good to play football, man. It's the best thing to do."

    On the title race, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports: "This is the strongest league in the world, the hardest league in the world, and we're in this with two sensational football teams. Sometimes, we have to get momentum back and now we need to play every three days."

    On how important it is to get another win before Manchester City next play: "I get 'scoreboard pressure' but do you think Man City care? I don't care. We focus on ourselves. I say everything I think will help, I'm not sure this will help. It's a really tough game. We face Everton, which is not a normal game. It will be tricky but we will give it a go."

    On making his most changes between Premier League games (six), Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp added to Sky Sports: "All of these boys have massive quality. Sometimes the momentum is there, but the quality is insane. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out like that sometimes. It's helped us, helped everybody and [we had] a really good feeling. We didn't go through against Atalanta [on Thursday] but the performance was alright. The result was alright but today was better."

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Sky Sports: "We won our last two away games, can I ask for more? Besides the last 10 minutes in the first half, we did extremely well. The boys played a really good football game. Historically, we've struggled here much more. Today, we did much better. Scoring goals is the most important [thing], having chances - we really liked the game."

    On scoring seven goals against Fulham in the Premier League this season: "Unfortunately we played all the others [too]. In periods where you don't score, it's easy to talk about. For the boys, it's tough. You have to get through this. I liked the performance, I liked the options. It's a good squad situation. We need all of them, we need to fight through games and we have the derby to focus on."

  7. Reds return to form with fine win at Fulhampublished at 19:05 British Summer Time 21 April

    Liverpool put a frustrating fortnight behind them to reignite their Premier League title bid with a welcome win at Fulham.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold, making a first league start in more than two months, curled a fabulous first-half free-kick into the top corner to put them ahead.

    Timothy Castagne steered Fulham level before the break but Ryan Gravenberch's perfectly-measured 20-yard effort flew in off the post to restore the Reds' advantage.

    Diogo Jota sealed the points with an accurate low finish past Bernd Leno from Cody Gakpo's through ball and the margin of victory could arguably have been greater.

    Liverpool

    Trent Alexander-Arnold to Sky Sports on Wednesday's Merseyside derby: "Already it is exciting. When it comes to derbies, football kind of goes out of the window. It is who wants to win it more. They've got a good result today, we've got a good result. It will be two teams in decent form."

    On the title race: "I think at this point of the season, in our minds, they won't drop points. We need to be in a position similar to last week. We kicked ourselves. If anyone drops points around us, we need to be in the best position we can aim for. Five out of five wins is the aim for us."

  9. 'Klopp has told me to play more central'published at 18:59 British Summer Time 21 April

    On dropping between Liverpool's centre-backs, Trent Alexander-Arnold added to Sky Sports: "I think the more and more I'm playing in the middle of the pitch, the tighter and more compact I'm finding it. The manager has told me to get into that position to try to get on the ball and find those passes over the top."

    On his role: "There has to be discipline in there. The rest of the team have to go and do that, move around. Within that, there's freedom and space to go in there. At this point of the season, we've got nothing to lose. We need to chase the goal difference. It's positive, it's a big thing and it is a tough position for us."

  10. 'Practice pays off on days like today'published at 18:54 British Summer Time 21 April

    Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold on whether he was always taking his free-kick after Harvey Elliott's hit the wall moments earlier: "Of course. At that point, there was no question. The second was always going to be mine. We did our analysis yesterday, we saw they jump quite a bit. Harvey had the right idea, just not the execution..

    On his free-kick technique: "The technique I use, it generates the power itself. I just try to guide it and make it hard for the goalkeeper.

    "You get one chance in a game to execute it for the team. Practice, practice, practice and it pays off on days like today."

    Liverpool

    Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold speaking to Sky Sports: "[That was] huge. At this point of the season, you don't [always] get the results you want. It was a very important result for us. We saw Arsenal win last night, it was a big one. We need five big ones, five finals."

    On the game: "They get a goal just before half-time and it dampens the mood, changes the team talk. We came out, and played the way we wanted. Ryan got the second goal and Jota does what he does for the third."

  12. 'We want to stay in title race'published at 18:49 British Summer Time 21 April

    FT: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp added to Match of the Day: "Fulham usually cause us more problems so it was a good performance at the right moment.

    "We want to stay in that [title] race, that's clear. Arsenal won last night, Manchester City will win their game in hand, so we know we have to win games and that's what we'll try [to do]."

    On making six changes: "I said before the game that I hate thinking about the game after the game we play [next], but we play Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday and we cannot ignore that fact. We played on Thursday so we have to use the boys.

    "It's the best squad situation we've had so far this season, I hope it stays like that. We had to bring the boys [in], that's how it is. In three days we play another game so let's see who lines up there. I got exactly what I wanted but I'm not surprised about that. The boys are good."

    On players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota returning from injury: "The other boys did extremely well in that period but, of course, having those boys back is extremely helpful. The boys are brilliant footballers, they just have to keep working and then, all of a sudden, everybody can see it again."

  13. 'We were really good for 80 minutes'published at 18:44 British Summer Time 21 April

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Match of the Day: "For 80 minutes we played a really good game. I didn't like too much about the last 10 minutes of the first half. We controlled it a bit in the wrong way and they scored the goal as well, but that's alright because I loved the second half.

    "We could show again what we did really well in the first half - how we played in and around our formation, how flexible we were, how we kept the ball, created, and scored some good goals. We had some massive chances on top of that too. It was a really good game in a, so far, super intense week. It doesn't stop yet so we'll keep going. The boys did really well."

    Harvey Elliott would love a goal today. But think he'll have to settle for that assist to Ryan Gravenberch earlier.
