Liverpool's pursuit of the major honours available to them has been, certainly in recent weeks, something of a white-knuckle ride.
For fans, rarely has a game passed without the nerves being frayed or fraught and supporters have been whirred through the wringer more times than they would have liked. The fact that a league-high 26 points have been earned from losing positions speaks volumes on that front.
The dramatic Carabao Cup final in late February was a perfect example also. An injury-hit Reds squad that was dealing with 12 absentees in total eventually saw off big-spending Chelsea thanks to an extra-time header from Virgil van Dijk, while it was left to Darwin Nunez to head in a 96th-minute winner against Nottingham Forest a few weeks later.

That was followed up by a breathless and pulsating 1-1 draw with Manchester City in a game that so much hinged upon before an FA Cup classic the following week went the way of Manchester United as Liverpool's hopes of a four-trophy haul fell by the wayside after an incredible 4-3 loss after extra time.
Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion had similarly dramatic brush strokes with the Reds trailing inside ninety seconds before eventually fighting back and finally holding off their visitors during a nervy last 10 minutes or so.
That's generally how it has been now for the Reds and when every single game is now laced with significance and packed with importance, there is hardly ever an opportunity for the patrons to sit back and relax on the seat they have paid for at Anfield.
