The Telegraph's Luke Edwards, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Premier League leaders Liverpool: "They were irresistible against West Ham and it is starting to look inevitable that Liverpool will be champions.

"The gap is already large and nothing seems to faze them. What I really love about them is their ability to slow a game down at one moment and then speed it up and go direct the next.

"We have seen, in the history of sport, teams or individuals who look like they're set to win a gold medal or a league title and have faltered. But the way Liverpool have been under Arne Slot, I just can't see that happening. They're brushing teams away.

"West Ham aren't the strongest opponents they're going to face in the Premier League but, even when they have faced their so-called rivals, they've come away relatively unscathed or beaten them.

"At the moment, looking around Europe, you would make them not just favourites to win the Premier League but you'd make them favourites to win the Champions League as well.

"It's daunting for the chasing pack because you can't really see them going on a really bad run that would allow that lead they've got to be whittled away."
