We were embedded with the Liverpool squad throughout Wednesday as they prepared for Sunday's meeting with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds will host Spurs at Anfield in a 4.30pm BST kick-off in the Premier League, on what could be a landmark day as they try to clinch the title.

Here are four things we spotted during our filming at the AXA Training Centre…

A spot of darts with breakfast

The Liverpool squad were all smiles as they arrived in Kirkby ahead of a busy day of preparation.

The coffee bar was abuzz and in full flow with several players socialising upon arrival, while others headed into the canteen for breakfast to fuel for the day ahead.

Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, however, were all spotted enjoying a bit of early-morning competition with a game of darts.

It looks like Diogo may have had the last laugh this time…

Ibou turns into… a fish?

Often during the indoor section of training the Reds participate in mini-games.

Defensive duo Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate were paired together for the latest test – though the club captain was unsure what he was seeing from his fellow centre-back…

Oh, and Cody Gakpo and Andy Robertson continued their playful battle…

Lucho's wild celebration

Who knows what's going on in this warm-up drill out on the pitches…

All we know is that there's jumping involved, some moving around, and Diaz seems to be pretty happy at the end of it all, so much so he's got a bib twirling in the air above his head.

(Is that an illegal use of a foot, Macca?) Enjoy... oh, and we do actually like the celebration, Lucho!

Fede's sneaky finish

Federico Chiesa produced a sneaky finish in training once the attacking work was in full flow under Arne Slot's watchful eye.

The Italian's low drive found the bottom corner of the net after the team in bibs worked the ball from right to left via Jota, Chiesa, Gakpo and back again before the clever strike was finished well.

Tidy work, Fede.
