Liverpool let their lead at the top of the Premier League table slip to just four points on Wednesday evening when Arsenal beat Tottenham to take advantage of the Reds' draw at Nottingham Forest. It means the Gunners begin to close the gap to four points, with Liverpool still having a game in hand.

But after two consecutive draws in the Premier League, Liverpool are desperate to get back to winning ways when they travel to Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

Here's what our LFC fan jury have made of recent developments in the title race:

James Noble (Worcestershire, @james_noble98) - Two points dropped but platform to build on

It’s difficult to deny that it felt more like two points dropped than one gained come full time at The City Ground on Tuesday night. That, though, actually reflected well on the second-half showing, given a draw arguably looked a decent outcome at half-time.

More than enough chances were created to win the match after Kostas Tsimikas and Diogo Jota’s stunningly swift impact from the bench levelled proceedings. The fact a clincher wasn’t found felt more a result of the excellence of Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels and his teammates than Liverpool wastefulness.

The equaliser was the latest reminder of the instinctive goalscoring qualities that could make Jota crucial in the remainder of the campaign. Saturday’s trip to Brentford feels the right time to give the Portuguese forward his first Premier League start since October.

Particularly after Arsenal’s victory on Wednesday narrowed our lead to four points, it does feel additionally important for us to get all three in West London. Having taken 13 from the last possible 21, our form needs to improve if we are to retain control of the title race. Tuesday’s second-half performance offers reason to believe it can and will. Given the enhanced balance, incision and security displayed within it, it feels a good platform to build on.

Andrew Cullen (Widnes, @brothersred5) - Treat Arsenal like the phantom of Man City

It has felt strangely comfortable in the title race for some time; we have been cruising along with a healthy lead. Man City’s demise this year has provided a greater sense of security at the top. Though, we have seen a mini-dip in performance, which in turn has resulted in draws against teams, when victories ought to have been secured.

The Nottingham Forest game did not show any real traces of complacency, but the first half showing only heightened concerns that Liverpool were entering a sticky patch in the season.

The second half display will have eased some concerns. Had Salah and Jota not been so profligate in front of goal, we would have secured a comfortable victory.

One of the reasons why Man City have been so imperious for so long is because they drain the confidence and life out of title contenders. They keep their boots firmly on the face and throat of their opponents.

It’s the lack of hope which makes title tilts against City so agonising. This Liverpool team is not the City team of previous seasons, so we cannot expect such dominance, but I would like to see the team treat each game as if there was a phantom City team on their shoulder.

The threat from Arsenal is a real one, and the result against Spurs underlined Arsenal's title credentials and ambition. The way to dampen Arsenal’s resurgence is to get back to quietly and confidently churning out victories.

While draws are still points gained, they can add fuel and confidence to the chasing pack. Although our lead has been reduced, there is no need to ring the alarm bells.

Rhys Buchanan (Aigburth, @Rhys_Buchanan) - Liverpool need statement performance

It’s certainly been an interesting week for the title race so far.

As Liverpool fans, it feels like we’ve been waiting for that statement win where everything clicks in explosive fashion again, but with a succession of tricky fixtures against dogged opposition, it hasn’t quite panned out that way.

Echoing Virgil’s post-match comments earlier in the week though, we’re nowhere near a crisis.

There’s no denying It's frustrating to see Arsenal gain ground after the midweek fixtures which could buoy them going into a tough home fixture this weekend against Villa.

We can take plenty of positives from a dangerous second half against Nottingham Forest though, where we were ultimately unlucky not to come away with the win.

There’s a long way to go, but given recent results, three points feels absolutely vital come Saturday just to steady the ship and ease any nerves within the fanbase.
