Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has expressed his appreciation for manager Arne Slot’s strict coaching style, indicating it has helped him improve his game. Despite earlier controversies, including being substituted during a match against Brentford, Alexander-Arnold feels supported by Slot and values their strong relationship. He highlighted how Slot’s training focuses on detailed strategies and positional play, helping players understand where to move to receive the ball effectively. Alexander-Arnold praised the intensity of the training sessions, which emphasize precise ball handling and exploiting opponents’ weaknesses. With Liverpool currently at the top of the Premier League, Alexander-Arnold’s insights suggest that the team…
Pep Guardiola has said he thinks it will take a lower points tally to win the Premier League title this season following a weekend in which Manchester City and Arsenal both suffered defeats. At least 89 points has been needed to finish first in the last three years, and 90+ in six of the last eight campaigns. But it might be difficult in such a fixture-laden season for those sorts of tallies to be matched again. Meanwhile, pre-season title favourites City and Arsenal have struggled in recent weeks. The champions are far off their best at present and fell to…
Gary Neville has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League since the start of the season but his reasoning is now being tested after the Gunners’ run of form. Arsenal have dropped points in recent weeks and they lost once again this weekend at Newcastle to compound their poor run. Mikel Arteta knows his side can ill-afford to drop more points and they even got a bit lucky this weekend, as Bournemouth beat Manchester City to ensure the gap from fourth to top remains just seven points. Still, Arsenal find themselves playing catch up and with Liverpool looking good at…
Things couldn’t be going much better for Arne Slot at Liverpool, although there is one area of his side that has provided a slight worry this season. You certainly can’t find many faults with the Reds at the moment. Sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League, in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and well-placed to advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League – it’s certainly been a dream start to the new era at Anfield. Andy Robertson though is one of the few players who won’t be all that pleased at the moment. It’s been…
Liverpool has kicked off this season under the guidance of head coach Arne Slot in a manner that can only be described as stunning, sending shockwaves through the Premier League. As the season began, few gave the Reds much hope for title glory, expecting a tough transitional phase following the Jurgen Klopp era, and this scepticism seemed confirmed by a quiet window marked by only one major arrival: Federico Chiesa from Juventus. Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was clear in his judgement on ‘Monday Night Football’ back in August, saying: “My view would be the…
The Reds moved back to the top of the Premier League on Saturday as they made the most of the slip-ups from their biggest rivals. They came back from 1-0 down to beat Brighton 2-1 thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, while Manchester City and Arsenal both fell to defeats at Bournemouth and Newcastle respectively. The result gave Liverpool their 13th win in 15 games in all competitions under Arne Slot, marking what has been a brilliant start under the Dutchman. More importantly though, it saw them reclaim top spot, where they now sit two points ahead…
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will be hoping for some positive injury news to arrive ahead of the Champions League clash away at Inter Milan. The Gunners are unbeaten in European action so far this season, but they have struggled as of late to pick up regular wins in the Premier League, with that trend continuing over the weekend. On Saturday afternoon, Arteta’s side were beaten by Newcastle at St James’ Park, with Alexander Isak netting the winner. Mikel Merino and Declan Rice both had chances for the visitors, but neither were able to convert with the Magpies dominating the midfield…
Mikel Arteta’s side, runners-up to Manchester City in the previous two campaigns, trail leaders Liverpool by seven points after 10 games following their 1-0 loss at Newcastle United on Saturday. Blackburn, in 1994, are the only team to come from further back after 10 games and win the title. They trailed Newcastle by eight points but had played a game fewer than the leaders. The only other clubs to recover a similarly sizeable gap as the one Arsenal must now overcome were Manchester United in 2002-03 and Manchester City in both 2013-14 and 2020-21, with each of those sides trailing…
Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday, which has led to former England international Joe Cole revising his Premier League title prediction, now casting doubt on the Gunners’ championship credentials. Cole, who initially tipped Arsenal to clinch their first league title since 2004, says recent performances have made him reconsider, as Mikel Arteta’s team has managed just one point from their last three matches. The Gunners’ latest setback at St James’ Park saw Alexander Isak head home Antony Gordon’s cross in the 12th minute, securing a well-earned victory for Newcastle. While Arsenal enjoyed a strong start to…
It was a scary Halloween night for Houston Texan fans as the New York Jets snapped a five-game losing streak with a 21-13 victory on Thursday at MetLife Stadium. Houston’s offense tossed up another stinker and the defense could not hold down Garrett Wilson, who made a pair of one-handed touchdown grabs, to help right the Jets ship. Houston drops to 6-3, while New York improved to 3-6. The Texans look far from a team ready to make a run in the postseason as the offensive woes continue and injuries begin to pile up. The Texans will a few extra…
