Whether you love Liverpool or loathe them, or somewhere in between, we are all wondering the same thing now … will they win one, two, three or all four trophies this season?
With less than a month left, an unprecedented quadruple no longer seems an impossible dream. In fact, even with only the Carabao Cup secured so far, the Reds can already claim they are closer to it than any English side has managed before.
Many have tried too. Since it first became achievable in 1960, there have been 120 other attempts by 15 clubs to become champions of England, conquer Europe and win the FA Cup and League Cup in the same campaign.
We have seen three different trebles from those teams, 17 more did a double of some kind – like the one Manchester City are still chasing this season – and 36 occasions where a side lifted one of the required trophies, a list Chelsea will join if they win the FA Cup.
But Liverpool are the first English club to reach the final of the European Cup/Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup in the same season and, date-wise, no side has got this far into the season with their hopes still alive of an amazing clean sweep.
