After Manchester City beat Luton Town 5-1 to move top of the Premier League table, it was inevitable that Pep Guardiola would be asked about Liverpool and Arsenal. Jürgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta’s sides are both in action later today. Liverpool is first up, taking on Crystal Palace at Anfield, before Arsenal hosts Aston Villa. Manchester City is ahead by two points having played a game more, but that lead is not likely to last for long. Guardiola is well aware that the margins are small and his side has the most congested schedule. Next weekend, his players take on…
Steve Nicol has suggested that he has been particularly surprised by one Liverpool player this season, with him turning out to be incredible for the Reds. It could still be an amazing final season at Anfield for Jürgen Klopp. Liverpool remain in the hunt for the Premier League title having already won the Carabao Cup. Their Europa League hopes appear to be in tatters. However, perhaps there may be one final amazing comeback still in their locker. Whoever takes over at Liverpool next year is getting a special group of players. Of course, several members of the squad are superstar…
The Premier League title race could change hands three times before the weekend fixtures are out.

Manchester City, for the first time since November, moved into top spot on Saturday after they thrashed Luton Town 5-1, but Arsenal could finish the weekend top of the tree if they beat Aston Villa.

Jamie Carragher has explained his remarks about Liverpool fielding a “second string” team following their defeat to Atalanta, suggesting Jürgen Klopp should focus on the Premier League. The Reds were taken aback by a 3-0 loss at Anfield in the first leg of their quarter-final clash with the Italian side, leaving them with a steep task in the return leg in Bergamo. Carragher, a Liverpool icon, advised Klopp to rotate heavily for the second leg to save his key players for the Premier League title push. They could retake the lead in the Premier League table if the Reds triumph…
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has sent a Premier League title warning to Arsenal and Liverpool following Saturday’s 5-1 win over Luton Town at the Etihad Stadium. City got off to the perfect start with Daiki Hashioka’s unfortunate deflection from Haaland’s overhead kick arrowing into the back of the net. Mateo Kovacic doubled their lead in the second half before Haaland scored his 20th Premier League goal. Jeremy Doku scored a brilliant solo goal in the 87th minute before Josko Gvardiol added to his screamer against Real Madrid to move Pep Guardiola’s men to the top of the table. Both…
Jurgen Klopp could make drastic changes against Crystal Palace after Liverpool’s shambolic Europa League defeat to Atalanta on Thursday night. The Reds were thrashed 3-0 by the Italians and desperately need to bounce back to keep their Premier League title dreams alive at Anfield today (2pm). Express Sport looks at the changed line-up Liverpool could name… Liverpool have three players who owe Klopp vs Palace after ‘losing the plot’ Goalkeeper: Kelleher Alisson is back in full training but wasn’t in the match-day squad on Thursday night.

Having dared to dream for so long, Liverpool are in danger of seeing their season unravel after a difficult few days. Despite dominating at Manchester United, in a game that saw 28 shots and 62% possession at Old Trafford, the Reds lost their grip on top spot in the Premier League with a 2-2 draw, seeing Arsenal leapfrog them by the slender advantage of their goal difference. If, a week on from that result, a point does not look as damaging as it did immediately after the final whistle, it has ceded control from Liverpool’s hands, meaning they now require…
This week, another Premier League club was issued with a points deduction. Everton and Nottingham Forest have already had them for FFP/PSR-related reasons and Sheffield United has now been given one by the EFL (to be applied next year when it is almost certainly relegated). Whether you agree with the principle of the rules or not, all clubs have been aware of their existence. The only unfairness in the situation is that there was not a specified number of points that a team loses per $Xm that it overspends. The only issue with the process is how the punishment is…
