Premier League: despite numerous absences, leader Liverpool crushes Luton

Leader Liverpool, weakened by numerous injuries, overthrew promoted and currently relegated Luton (4-1) in the second half, Wednesday at Anfield at the opening of the 26th day of the Premier League. The Reds trembled and were led against the “Hatters”, as in the first leg (1-1), but this time they managed to win, carried by the fervor of their supporters and the determination of their captain Virgil van Dijk.

The Dutch defender placed a powerful header from a corner (56th, 1-1) to respond to Chiedozie Ogbene's opener (12th, 0-1). His passer Alexis Mac Allister did it again by crossing for Cody Gakpo (58th, 2-1) in the process.

Luton, tenth-eighth, gave in again to Luis Diaz (71st, 3-1) and Harvey Elliott (90th, 4-1). Liverpool has 60 points, four more than Manchester City, who travel to Bournemouth on Saturday, and five more than Arsenal who host Newcastle the same day.

With this success, Jürgen Klopp can look more calmly towards the League Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday at Wembley, hoping to recover a few players by then.

But the Reds coach may be worried about the state of his troops. On Wednesday, he had to deal with, among others, goalkeeper Alisson Becker, defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai and three major attackers, namely Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

Salah returned to competition on Saturday in the 4-1 victory against Brentford, with a start marked by a goal and an assist, a month after being injured with Egypt. But he was not selected for the Luton reception, visibly physically affected.
