Liverpool pranced to the top of the Premier League this Saturday as the Reds beat Cardiff City 3-1 to continue the Merseysiders impressive form.

Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness all sat in the Sky Sports studio at White Hart Lane with smirks breaking through and praise gushing from their mouths.
