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. While not impossible that he starts here, it is considered likelier the Brazilian’s return…
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…
Liverpool are third in the Premier League table after 31 games, with leaders Manchester City two points clear at the top of the table having played a game more, while they are behind Arsenal due to an inferior goal difference, and they know they have to keep winning if they want to win the title. The Reds have lost just two league games all season and will hope to keep firing on all cylinders in the league despite being at risk of elimination in the Europa League following the 3-0 loss to Atalanta in the first-leg of their quarter-final tie…
Paul Merson says the disadvantage that Manchester City has over Liverpool and Arsenal in the Premier League title race is why he wouldn’t want to be in Pep Guardiola’s squad at the moment. The former Gunners ace has placed City third in the likelihood of winning the league this season. Before Manchester City hosted Luton Town in the Premier League, Merson said on Sky Sports: “Every game is a hard game. Even today Luton at home, they [City] are going to have one eye on Real Madrid there’s no question about that. “You end up starting this game slowly, the…
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has now praised Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield. The Austrian takes Crystal Palace to Merseyside on Sunday as he searches for a first away win since replacing Roy Hodgson in February. However, the south Londoners could well come up against a spirited Liverpool side, hungry to put things right again after Thursday’s humiliating 3-0 defeat to Atalanta. If Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are to pick up three points against Crystal Palace, pressing the ball effectively – which did not happen on Thursday – will be an important factor,…
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is ‘100 per cent’ making the right decision by walking away from Anfield at the end of the season. The Reds boss is hoping to guide his side to Premier League glory and bow out on a positive note, though both Arsenal and Manchester City are keen to spoil the party. In a shock announcement, Klopp revealed in January that he would walk away from the Merseyside outfit this summer as he is ‘running out of energy’ on the touchline. The ex-Borussia Dortmund manager has insisted that he needs to spend some time away…
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are contesting one of the most exciting Premier League title races in recent history. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners currently sit top of the table on 71 points, level with Jurgen Klopp’s Reds but with a better goal difference. Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, the reigning champions, sit third behind Arsenal and Liverpool, but they’re just one point adrift. Three teams separated by one point with seven games left is pretty much unprecedented in the Premier League, and a grandstand finish beckons. In recent weeks, pundits have been sharing their opinions on who they think will finish top of…
Liverpool might end up remembering Atalanta’s visit to Anfield as a turning point in the season for all the wrong reasons. Jürgen Klopp will not have given up hope of a comeback, but the heavy defeat has stacked the odds against the Reds in the Europa League, piling the pressure on achieving Premier League glory. However, that quest could be aided by the extremely positive news on the injury front. It was hard to get too excited about it as a third shot flashed past Caoimhín Kelleher, but the Liverpool bench against Atalanta represented a huge leap forward compared to…
