Looking Ahead

With his impressive performance, Elliott will hope to retain his place in the starting lineup for Liverpool's EFL Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Liverpool's victory against Luton Town has strengthened their position at the top of the Premier League, moving four points clear of Manchester City in second place and five points above Arsenal in third.
