Thierry Henry says it is only a matter of time before ‘unstoppable’ Liverpool secure their first Premier League title in 30 years after their stunning victory over Leicester City.
Jurgen Klopp’s league leaders smashed second-placed Leicester 4-0 on Boxing Day to move 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League. Roberto Firmino bagged a brace, James Milner scored from the spot and Trent Alexander-Arnold produced a superb strike as Liverpool dispatched Leicester and recorded their 17th win of the season.

Thierry Henry hailed ‘unstoppable’ Liverpool after their victory over Leicester City

What they are doing is frightening. ‘Jurgen Klopp is never going to admit that but this team are on a mission. They’re not going to stop after tonight.
‘They will only party after the last game. It could have been 4-0 at half-time. He will say it’s not done and they need to keep on going but what they are doing is not normal. ‘I’m not a Liverpool fan but I like to see a team play like that. They create, they fight.’ Manchester City will try to reduce the gap to Liverpool to 11 points on Friday night when they visit Wolves.
Alexander-Arnold produced a brilliant performance against Leicester and another Arsenal hero, Lee Dixon, hailed his display at the King Power Stadium. He said: ‘The front three steal the headlines most of the time but the full-backs have taken this team to another level. ‘I’ve watched Alexander-Arnold a lot and he is just brilliant. Defensively he’s got so much better and he’ll run up and create chances all day long.’
