ON A wild afternoon at the Emirates, Arsenal blew a bloody great hole in the centre of Jurgen Klopp’s defence and declared a three-horse title. First Virgil Van Dijk’s extraordinary mix-up with keeper Alisson gifted the decisive goal to Gabriel Martinelli, then Ibrahima Konate was sent off for two fouls on Kai Havertz as Liverpool’s 22-match unbeaten domestic run was ended. The Gunners, who dominated the match for long stretches, are now just two points behind Klopp’s leaders. And champions Manchester City – third but with two games in hand – could go top before Liverpool next play. There is something about…
Arsenal entertain Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League. It’s a top-of-the-table clash as the Reds lead the league with 51 points from 22 games. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his side were second best to Arsenal – but only just. “In general it was not our day and arsenal deserved the three points – even in strange circumstances,” he told Sky Sports referencing the Gunners’ second goal. “We found a way and we had to adapt in a lot of moments. We had to bring a lot of players back from injury and into certain positions. “We…

Roy Keane has been speaking about Liverpool against Arsenal today and believes Jurgen Klopp’s side can send a massive message by winning. The former Manchester United midfielder is among the pundits watching on as Liverpool travel to The Emirates for one of the biggest games of the season so far. A win for Liverpool would send them eight points clear of the Gunners and effectively put Mikel Arteta’s side out of the running. And Keane, speaking about whether this is a must-win game for Arsenal, believes that an even bigger message would be sent out if Liverpool snatched it. Speaking…
Arsenal are without Gabriel Jesus for their tantalising Premier League clash with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. The Brazil international was the star of the show in the midweek beating of Nottingham Forest, registering a goal and assist in a 2-1 victory, but Mikel Arteta revealed afterwards that he was managing an ongoing knee issue. There was initially no indication that Jesus would be absent from the matchday squad, but the former Manchester City man has not been passed fit, meaning that Kai Havertz gets the nod down the middle. Havertz’sinclusion is one of two changes on Arteta’s end, as…
Arsenal are preparing to host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium for what is this weekend’s featured game in the Premier League. The mouth-watering matchup will see Liverpool look to extend their lead at the top of the table. For Arsenal, Mikel Arteta will be desperate not to lose to keep his side very much in the title race. However, despite the importance of today’s game, the Gunners don’t have the best record against their opponents — Arteta’s side have won just two of their last 17 league games against Liverpool — both victories did come at the Emirates though. And…
Jurgen Klopp has made three changes to his starting XI as Liverpool visit Arsenal this afternoon, with the aim to keep momentum and extend the lead at the top. The Reds can go eight points clear at the Premier League‘s summit with victory at the Emirates – at least until Man City visit Brentford on Monday night. But they come up against one of their title rivals in Arsenal, with a strong Liverpool side poised for a tough test. Alisson, as usual, keeps his place between the sticks, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in the side following the sad news…
With a five-point gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, there is a strong argument that Sunday’s match is a must win for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta isn’t buying into that though. “What we need to do is play like we played in the last two games against them and be more efficient in the areas that will decide the game,” the Spaniard said. “I’m very excited. It’s always good to prepare a game against Liverpool, with how they are. We play at home and what I sense is real positivity and enthusiasm around the place.” One thing…
Diogo Jota is a natural finisher but his talents away from goal scoring are equally as impressive, though he’s spent some time talking about his teammates. Speaking with Saturday Social, the forward was asked who was the most technically gifted he’s ever played with and his answer may not surprise too many. Our No.20 said: “Thiago Alcantara. I think, obviously Liverpool is… I could have said Bernardo Silva now that I think about the national team but Thiago is a good shout! With our No.6 set to make an imminent return from injury, now would be a great time for…
Liverpool have fallen behind to a Bukayo Saka goal against Arsenal in the Premier League. Dominik Szoboszlai misses out for the Reds through injury as Trent Alexander-Arnold returns for Conor Bradley. Thiago Alcantara makes his first match-day squad of the campaign after returning to training last week, having not featured since last April. It’s 12 months to the day since the Spain midfielder started his last match for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Szoboszlai is replaced in midfield by Ryan Gravenberch as the Netherlands U21 international starts alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones. Darwin Nunez is only a part of the…
