Roy Keane has not held back on his current thoughts surrounding Manchester United ahead of Premier League fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool in the next seven days. Erik ten Hag’s side thought they had grabbed a dramatic late winner against Brentford through Mason Mount only for Kristoffer Ajer to equalise deep into added time. The Bees thoroughly dominated the clash with a staggering 31 shots taken which saw United concede an xG of 3.29. The point saw them lose ground in the race for Champions League spots with Tottenham now eight points above and Aston Villa 11 clear after their…
Liverpool’s Premier League title ambitions are in their own hands. The Reds sit two points clear at the top of the table with nine matches remaining. Jurgen Klopp’s side battled to a 2-1 victory over Brighton before rivals Manchester City and Arsenal played out a goalless draw. But Klopp knows that the injury list remains too lengthy and he’ll want as many players back as possible for the remaining matches, with Liverpool also harbouring ambitions of winning the Europa League. Liverpool have two matches this week as they face Sheffield United at Anfield on Thursday before making the trip to…
Liverpool emerged as the big winners in the Premier League title race on Sunday after Arsenal and Manchester City both dropped points. Jurgen Klopp‘s side moved to the top of the table after their win against Brighton and Hove Albion yesterday. Arsenal’s draw at the Etihad meant they dropped down to second. Just three points separate Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the table, and it looks like it will go down to the wire. It’s hard to call who will win the Premier League title now, but Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards have all…
Pep Guardiola has indicated he looked at Liverpool’s win over Brighton before Manchester City took on Arsenal at the Etihad. Guardiola’s side played out a lacklustre 0-0 draw at home with the Gunners on Easter Sunday, dropping two points in their hunt for the Premier League title. Liverpool had seen off Brighton 2-1 at Anfield earlier in the day to move to the top of the table and neither Manchester City or Arsenal were able to dislodge them. Guardiola indicated that he knew what Liverpool’s result was before his team played and would be stupid if he did not keep…
It’s fairly obvious to Liverpool fans that the preferred result of Arsenal’s visit to Manchester City would be a draw, but the second-best outcome being a Man City win feels a little funny. Liverpool rooting for their fiercest recent rival Manchester City to beat Arsenal? Counterproductive at first blush, to be sure. But there’s nothing more to it than the obvious advantage of a Man City win leaving Liverpool alone atop the table, because Liverpool’s results this Premier League season leave their remaining schedule looking like a piece of cake. There was a draw after all — not far off…
Liverpool fans took aim at one player despite their crucial win against Brighton and Hove Albion. On Sunday afternoon, Liverpool had the chance to go back to the top of the Premier League ahead of Manchester City vs Arsenal later in the evening. However, Jurgen Klopp’s men were stunned inside two minutes after Danny Welbeck smashed Brighton into the lead. Liverpool drew level in the 27th minute when Luis Diaz flicked in Mohamed Salah’s header. In the second half, the Reds’ talisman Salah came up with a huge goal as he slotted home a beautiful Alexis Mac Allister pass in…
Liverpool have had plenty of options to choose from in terms of picking out the signing of the season, and Alexis Mac Allister made a strong case again this afternoon against Brighton. The 25-year-old was instrumental for the Reds, earning the praises of the commentary team. Jamie Carragher named him as the ‘best player on the pitch’ after his first-half display in particular, in which Mac Allister was praised for his ‘instrumental’ performance. The Argentina international was involved in all of Liverpool’s most promising pieces of play and demonstrated his passing range when looking to pick out intelligent runs by…
Liverpool eventually fought their way past Brighton and Hove Albion today to go top of the table ahead of Arsenal facing Man City. In a close fought game against the Seagulls, it was Mo Salah’s goal which proved to be the difference in the end as he slotted in from Alexis Mac Allister’s pass. Salah had endured a frustrating first half before he struck as well. Indeed, Ian Wright even suggested the Egyptian forward was showing signs of rust with his finishing. In the end, Salah came up trumps for the Reds as he so often does. But while Salah…
Theo Walcott was brutally mocked by Michah Richards during half time of Liverpool’s game against Brighton. The former Arsenal man was assessing Mohamed Salah’s missed chances in the opening 45 minutes of the Reds’ 2-1 win over the Seagulls when he became Richards’ target. Salah had seven shots in the first half without success, but it was one strike in particular that led to the exchange. Dominik Szoboszlai slipped the Egyptian forward in on goal, and he hit a tame first-time effort straight at Bart Verbruggen. Speaking on Sky Sports over the top of the clip, Walcott said: “This is…
Jamie Carragher was left blown away by one Liverpool performance against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield today. Jurgen Klopp went into the game knowing that there was no margin for error, he needed his Liverpool players to do their job before Manchester City hosted Arsenal. And with that in mind, Danny Welbeck’s early strike was less than ideal. A moment of class meant it was going to be an uphill struggle for Liverpool against an impressive Roberto De Zerbi side. Simon Adingra stood out in particular, perhaps a player Liverpool could show interest in were De Zerbi chosen as…
