Nine straight wins the Premier League have given Liverpool the needed momentum to overtake Manchester City. As for Arsenal, steps are still needed.
There is no doubt that Arsenal are miles behind Liverpool, but their race is all about fourth spot and qualifying for the Champions League. If that happens, they then have a platform upon which to build towards competing with Liverpool and City in the years ahead. Liverpool look unstoppable, and they could yet do the quadruple, and City know that too. The reality of this Arsenal team is that it now has an identity and a clear pathway in front of it. The goal was made by Andy Robertson, who dispossessed Bukayo Saka on the left before breaking the touchline and pulling back for Firmino to flick past Ramsdale. At 2-0, it was game over -- Liverpool were firmly in control and Arsenal's recent revival was over. Facing Mikel Arteta's resurgent team at the Emirates was undoubtedly a tougher challenge for Klopp's players, with the Gunners climbing into fourth on the back of five straight league wins and unbeaten run in the Premier League stretching back to Jan 1. Manchester City don't have it and that's why, after Liverpool's 2-0 victory at Arsenal on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions will be worrying that they may be about to finish second in what had seemed, not too long ago, like a one-horse race.
Aaron Ramsdale's mistake against Liverpool allowed Diogo Jota to score what would prove to be the winner on Wednesday night in the Premier League. While Arsenal ...
The Arsenal manager made the claim after watching his side fall to a valiant 2-0 defeat at the Emirates stadium on Wednesday night.
The Reds were clinical when they got their opportunities and were thankful for the world-class goalkeeping of Alisson Becker. Like Arsenal in 2019, they lost even a Europa League final to compound the misery. But coupled with his praise of Liverpool before the game, it seems like a genuine belief.
Mikel Arteta went on a bizarre rant about the Premier League fixture list after his Arsenal side lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool on Wednesday.
Only one of those players, Martin Odegaard, had been missing due to COVID though. "But the one that is affected is Arsenal and the only thing that I care [about] and we care [about] is Arsenal. And for Arsenal it is not fair." The north London derby had been due to take place on January 16 but Arsenal asked the Premier League to call it off at the eleventh hour because they had several first-team players unavailable. "Thank you so much to the Premier League for doing that," Arteta fumed, as quoted by the Daily Mail. The defeat left Arsenal still occupying fourth place but gave hope to their rivals in the race for the final Champions League spot. Mikel Arteta went on a bizarre rant about the Premier League fixture list after his Arsenal side lost 2-0 at home to Liverpool on Wednesday.
LONDON (AP) — Liverpool reignited the Premier League title race and came within a point of the top spot with a 2-0 win over Arsenal on Wednesday after ...
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher offered his latest analysis on an ever more intriguing race for a top-four finish following Arsenal's 2-0 home defeat at ...
If they can take it to the final two games, Burnley and Norwich offer a perfect opportunity to take a perfect six point from six. After the international break, Conte’s side take on a resurgent Newcastle side, before a trip to Villa Park and a home meeting with Brighton. David Moyes’s men face Chelsea and West Ham in consecutive weeks, before they head to Manchester City on the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season. Ralf Rangnick said ahead of the win over Tottenham that United would need to win each of their last ten league games if they are to overhaul Arsenal and secure a top-four finish. That’s followed up by a game with Arsenal on April 23, before their penultimate game of the season sees them face off against Chelsea at Old Trafford. But with just a third of the season remaining, Mikel Arteta’s side are firmly in the driving seat for a top-four finish, sitting one point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United having played two games fewer.
In his pre-Arsenal press conference, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hinted at his next transfer target when discussing Manchester City's recent match against ...
Jurgen Klopp has said that he wants to leave the club in a better position than when he joined, so buying for the future makes sense. Jurgen Klopp admitted that he turned the match off at the same exact time that Michael Olise was subbed off. When discussing Manchester City's recent match against Crystal Palace Klopp hinted that he was scouting a certain player ahead of a summer move.
In a huge English Premier League match, Arsenal will host Liverpool as both teams have a lot of things to fight for until the end of the year.
In all honesty, it is very difficult to plan to stop the Egyptian wizard, as he can hurt a team from all kinds of positions. In the next few weeks, apart from the Champions League matchup, they are going to play, the Reds have Arsenal, Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Newcastle away from home. Yet, now they will be facing an Arsenal squad that is one of the best teams in the league in 2022. Their schedule as of late has been fairly easy, as they have only faced one top-10 team in the last eight games. It would be very difficult to say the result, but our prediction here would be 3-2 for the North London giants. Even though it seemed like the English Premier League is wrapped up, the best football league in the world will have an exciting end.
The Premier League title race is heating up and Liverpool looks to spoil their fun, but Manchester City looks ready to retain the title.
They also went on a 12-game winning streak this season, which Southampton broke in January. However, they hold all the tools in their hands to go on a winning run to seal the league title. Almost every single team in the Premier League relies on one of their main stars to supply their goals. The midfield and the frontline run their boots in the ground to ensure a clean sheet. Their sensational streak followed this in the 2018/19 season as they won 15 consecutive games and defeated Liverpool by a point. The reigning league champions have been the best defensive side in England in the current campaign. However, in the year they failed to win it, Liverpool broke several records to lift their first title in 30 years.
With nine matches remaining in the Premier League season, the final standings are slowly coming together. Today, I'll take a look at where each team will ...
The fact that this team is not winning a Premier League title this year is incredible. Barring any late-year blunders, Manchester City is a lock for the title and may even break a goal differential of +70. The trio of Welbeck, Trossard, and Maupay at the top will be a force to be reckoned with next season. After an extremely eventful offseason and team rebuild following their promotion in 2017, the Wolves have seen the best case scenario emerge this season. The one-two punch of Gallagher and Zaha has been extremely effective this season. Arsenal’s slow but steady climb back into the top four can only be accredited to head coach Mikel Arteta and the turnaround up top. As the team with the least goals scored this season, Norwich will have to make some drastic changes at the top of their lineup during the offseason. Interestingly, their issues this year come on both sides of the ball, as offensive efficiency waned and defensive power lacked. The acquisition of striker Ivan Toney in 2020 from Peterborough is one major reason why they have found success in the Premier League. Frankly, the only thing keeping them out of relegation is the fact that the teams below them are playing worse. Painfully bad defense and blowout losses will mean the end of Leeds’ stay in the top flight. The third and final relegation spot will be decided by merely two goals, according to my predictions.
Arsenal put up a fight, forcing Liverpool to fight for every inch, but Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino were on hand to see the Reds through to a ninth ...
It is hard to separate the pair on recent form, however. In more positive news, Ibrahima Konate has recovered from a knock that has seen the Frenchman miss his side's last two games and makes the bench. No Mohamed Salah in the starting lineup for Liverpool as he recovers from a foot injury, but he's available off the bench for the Reds if needed. Meanwhile, the visitors have to contend with a minor foot injury to Mohamed Salah, which was sustained away to Brighton in their 2-0 win. It springs a Liverpool break for Sadio Mane behind the defense, but a heavy touch allows Gabriel to make a last-ditch contest and Mane's sliding shot flies well over the bar. The Brazilian's volley is planted straight into the ground, and it's an easy one for Matip to clear. Arsenal continues to push for a goal, but the game feels out of reach. Alisson has it covered though, and the eventual shot is over the bar. A slow buildup, but a through ball from Thiago — who made the mistake just moments ago — unlocked Arsenal and freed Diogo Jota down the left edge of the penalty area, and somehow the Portuguese international strikes from a very tight angle. 62nd min: GOAL! Liverpool! The Reds suddenly have this one in hand, and it's the substitute Bobby Firmino. Ramsdale saved the first chance from Salah despite a deflection, but Arsenal never clears. 88th min: CHANCE, Arsenal! Arsenal is still searching for a consolation goal, and Xhaka picked out Martinelli whose low effort flashed just inches wide of the far post. Liverpool’s defense held strong through the onslaught however, and allowed the Reds to bide their time until Arsenal made a mistake.
Minute-by-minute report: Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino both love scoring against Arsenal … and both did it again after Liverpool weathered a first-half ...
Harry Kane set another Premier League record as Tottenham won at the Amex to stay with in the hunt for a Champions League place.
While Rooney needed 243 games to reach his tally, Kane has beaten his record in just 139, more than 100 matches fewer than the former Manchester United star. Spurs three points back of Arsenal in the final Champions League place, with the Gunners holding one game in hand. Kane's strike brought him to 12 league goals for the season, leveling Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane in second place in the rankings.
Draws are no good in this title race so Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino waited to join the game. But then Liverpool scored through Diogo Jota and Klopp made his ...

Liverpool now has 69 points, one behind Manchester City, which slipped up with a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday.
But the final ball let the Gunners down time and time again. We opened the door and they scored two goals.” “They are a fantastic team, one of the best in the world. They are a point ahead of Manchester United, but Arsenal has two games in hand. That was Jota’s last action on the field as Klopp made a double substitution, bringing on Mohamed Salah, who had recovered from a foot injury, and Firmino. “Of course we have momentum,” Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said.
Arsenal news: The Gunners face a congested fixture list in April, taking on Chelsea and Manchester United in the space of a few days and the Spaniard is ...
They will eat, sleep well, but thank you so much to the Premier League for putting the fixtures like this. But the one that is affected is Arsenal and the only thing that I care [about] and we care [about] is Arsenal. And for Arsenal it is not fair.” Very, very helpful.” Arteta confirmed that Arsenal have complained to the Premier League about the fixture changes. He said: “Thank you so much to the Premier League to do that. Arsenal are battling for the final Champions League spot in the Premier League table, with just a one-point advantage over United and a three-point gap to West Ham and Spurs. And he issued a sarcastic response when asked about Arsenal's run of fixtures coming up. Arteta is further dismayed by the fact that the rearranged Premier League fixtures for April see his side play Chelsea and Manchester United in the space of a few days.
Klopp threw down the gauntlet to City this week when he admitted he wants Liverpool to be as “annoying as possible” in the title race.
For me it was a goal, to be honest. “We are very happy because Harry is scoring a lot. “It was a sensational save. But in 10 years, do you think somebody will say you should be proud of finishing second? “It’s better to be one point behind than 14 points. We have to win football matches,” Klopp said.
To celebrate the 30th season of the Premier League, we're counting down our top 30 moments in history and this time Liverpool take center stage.
They didn’t care though, as the scenes of the hoisting the trophy at Anfield brought so much joy to their fans in Liverpool and around the world. After a three-decade wait to be crowned the Champions of England once again, Liverpool looked likely to go unbeaten throughout the entire campaign.
