How to defend the Premier League (and how not to) by those who know best: Frank Lampard, Pep Guardiola, Danny Simpson and Sir Alex Ferguson reveal the traps to avoid, the tricks to successfully go again and explain why Liverpool are finding it so hard

Although not an insurmountable gap, it looks a tall order.
