Some jokingly asked for his spare ticket so that they could go to the final instead. While Liverpool are currently in pole position to lift the Premier League, they will have significant pressure from defending champions Manchester City and Arsenal. The men from Anfield will be feeling confident to grab their first title of the season, and looking back at their history in the competition, they have every right to do so.
