Fans on the best and worst of the season so far – and who they want to sign in the January transfer window.
And the worst … What we need in the window: More aggression across the pitch. What we need in the window: A right wing-back, someone who can beat a man, cross the ball. I think the winter break, the potential for signings and players not having to hold back will allow us to remove the mental shackles and start flexing. We’ve previously shored up by strengthening in midfield, and the shift to 4-3-3 helped protect the defence, but with Moussa Niakhaté still injured, we could do with more pace and know-how at the back. What we need in the window: Another centre-half and a right-back, plus we could do with a quality centre-forward. In a slew of bizarre Souness signings, the Frenchman topped the list. And De Bruyne and Haaland have been the standout performers. I’m really pleased with the progress the team has made as a unit – but there have continued to be dark days, such as against Brentford, City and Villa. What we need in the window: With injuries up front – longish-term to Jota and Díaz, and now Firmino – another forward was key, especially now we don’t have the luxury of the great Divock Origi to help us out. But we took the points against Villa and Leicester, and now have to build on that. At least we’re in the last eight of the League Cup, although we’re up against the Geordies again …

For a top-of-the-table team, Manchester United has struggled to find the net consistently this season scoring only 23 goals through its first fifteen games with three of those goals coming in the 3-0 home win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

Liverpool stole a march on them to sign Cody Gakpo and the Red Devils will have to choose their next attacking reinforcement carefully. India: Star Sports network has the rights to show Premier League matches in India. Brazil international Casemiro is starting to look like something of a transformative signing for the Red Devils. Matheus Nunes comes into midfield, with Joe Hodge dropping to the bench. Christian Eriksen whips a corner to the near post the Casemiro meets. It's worked short to Joao Moutinho who lumps the ball out for a goal kick. 48th minute: Adama Traore is right into the action with a barrelling dribble to get the Molineux crown on their feet. Nelson Semedo sticks to his task, the cavalry arrive and Garnacho is crowded out. Anthony Martial advances the attack to Alejandro Garnacho, who sizes up the Wolves defence. Bruno Fernandes spreads play out to the left, where Alejandro Garnacho goes inside and then outside to cross. Neves whips a sumptuous strike over the United wall and David de Gea gets across his goal to tip behind. United deal with the corner.

India: Star Sports network has the rights to show Premier League matches in India. The Seagulls are bidding to record three consecutive wins over Arsenal for the first time. Arsenal win it back in the Brighton half and the goalscorer is played through in acres of space down the right, but Lewis Dunk gets across to block his cut-back. Brighton are a good match for Arsenal here — they just can't seem to pick their way through in the final third. Pacesetters.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) Bukayo Saka struck so early it seemed to shock Brighton out of their previous positive form, and Martin Odegaard has made the lead comfortable. It's a lovely piece of play from Brighton that ends with Pascal Gross playing in the Japan international, who produced a composed side-foot finish. Jeremy Sarmiento is trying to keep their hopes alive, but he goes to ground too easily on the edge of the Arsenal box and is penalised for diving. 88 mins: A few chants of 'off, off, off!' from the home fans as Bukayo Saya (on a yellow) trips Kaoru Mitoma. He's bringing on Rob Holding for Martin Odegaard to make sure of the result. FULLTIME: That's that for 2022 in the Premier League! Arsenal seemed in a mood to celebrate the new year on the south coast, Bukayo Saka giving them the lead inside just two minutes.

63 min Nketiah appeals for a penalty after a challenge from behind by Dunk. 69 min There was an understandable concern that, when Graham Potter left Brighton, the whole thing might fall in a heap. [Arsenal](https://www.theguardian.com/football/arsenal) collapse? Martinelli was quick enough to stay in front of Lamptey, even with the ball at his feet, and once he got into the area he poked the ball impatiently through Sanchez. “A long way to go, but looks like there’ll be lots of squeaky-bum time at the top and bottom before the end.” [Arsenal](https://www.theguardian.com/football/arsenal) can win it,” says Rachel Clifton. 88 min The stylish Mitoma twists Saka one way and then the other before being brought down. He gained no advantage whatsoever, as he was running away from goal, but rules are rules. Mitoma cuts inside a defender in the area and is about to shoot when he slips over. 90+4 min Gabriel gets away with a shirt pull on Sarmiento in the area. Arsenal move S-E-V-E-N points clear at the top after a highly entertaining match. I just had to show some composure and try to put it in the far corner, and I’m glad I did.
Premier League leaders Arsenal travel to Brighton & Hove Albion aiming to break a poor record on the south coast.
A return of three wins from its last four league outings leaves Brighton breathing down the necks of Liverpool in sixth place, and competition to break into Europe this term is rife as they enter Week 17 level on points with Chelsea. Brighton will be missing one key presence in midfielder Moises Caicedo, who is suspended after picking up his fifth caution of the campaign. Brighton & Hove Albion has already booked two wins in as many meetings with Arsenal thus far in 2022, and the Seagulls will hope to close the year by adding one more victory over the current Premier League leaders on its final day.

Manchester City star Erling Haaland has scored the most goals of any Premier League player ever before the turn of the year.
At this rate, the 22-year-old is well on his way to surpassing 40 goals in arguably the best league in the world. With his 21st goal of the campaign on Saturday against Everton courtesy of a Riyad Mahrez assist, the Norwegian [has netted the most goals of any Premier League player ever](https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1609217412259364871) before the turn of the year. [Erling Haaland](https://clutchpoints.com/manchester-city-news-erling-haalands-debut-goal-sparks-wild-twitter-reactions) is an absolute menace in the final third and in his first season in England, is already setting unforeseen records.
Erling Haaland set another Premier League record by scoring Manchester City's opening goal against Everton on New Year's Eve.
By firing past Jordan Pickford in the 24th minute, Haaland became the first ever player to score at least 21 goals before the turn of the year in a single Premier League season. It was Haaland's 21st Premier League goal for City, coming in only his 15th appearance in the competition. Another Day, Another Premier League Record For Erling Haaland
Earlier in the week, against Leeds, Haaland became the fastest player to score 20 goals in the Premier League after he completed a brace at Elland Road.
He threatened for the first time when he latched on to a fine throughball from Kevin De Bruyne and rounded Jordan Pickford but fired into the side-netting. He also surpassed his father Alfie Haaland’s entire Premier League goal tally (18), that too against his father’s former club, in the city Haaland was born. However, he could not inspire his side to victory as Demarai Gray levelled for the Toffees.
Erling Haaland could topple the record for goal involvements (goals plus assists) in a single season, including beating Alan Shearer's 42-game record.
Patrick Vieira will have been unhappy with Crystal Palace’s performance even before Tyrick Mitchell and James Tomkins were sent off short before and after halftime. It was another set piece that put Palace 2-0 ahead in the 36th minute, as Eberechi Eze stalked a corner kick sent to the top of the penalty area by Olise. The opener came after 19 minutes, when Bournemouth left Jordan Ayew completely unmarked in front of goal as Michael Olise whipped a corner kick into the box. Patrick Vieira was bitterly disappointed to see his side not only lose 3-0 to Fulham on Monday, but to also finish the game with just nine men in a truly disastrous situation. 👊💙 Here's our starting XI to take on @Arsenal this evening. That said, Arsenal was largely overrun by Brighton late and this was a Brighton side missing huge pieces of its midfield. Adam Lallana and Leandro Trossard have been in-form over Brighton’s three wins in four, scoring in two games each. Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson scored in a game it trailed 3-0 and 4-1. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah also scored for the Gunners. Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. Alan Shearer put up 47 over 42, while Thierry Henry holds the 38-game record with 44. Haaland scored two more goals in a Wednesday win over Leeds at Elland Road as Manchester City burst out of the World Cup break with the big Norwegian still on pace for a Premier League record.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland continues to take the English Premier League (EPL) by storm as he set yet another record a few days ago.
7 Considering Haaland's staggering goal-scoring record, he is well on course to register the record of scoring the most number of goals in a single Premier League campaign.

Fulham take the lead from a corner. Another corner, another Crystal Palace goal on the back of shocking Bournemouth defending. Southampton equalise against Fulham courtesy of a superb James Ward-Prowse free-kick from a long, long way out. It seems Wood simply has to score but is denied from close range. On the counter-attack, Newcastle force a corner from Liam Cooper, which brings a good save out of Meslier. Pep Guardiola has yet to ring any changes. Neal Maupay is on for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Seamus Coleman has replaced Nathan Patterson. Everton scramble the ball clear. Joao Palhinha steals in at the far post to nod a cross into an empty net It’s still early in the season but as things stand, the Saints are rock bottom of the table and going marching in to the Championship.

Second in scoring behind only Manchester City, Arsenal have scored 11 more goals than any other team in the league with four players scoring five or more goals. Brighton would get another and Mitoma made things interesting by hitting the back of the net again but it was judged to be offside following a VAR review, ending any chance of a dramatic comeback. 15th, but the lead could be at a point by then where Arsenal could still be in great shape no matter the result.

This time it was Eberechi Eze, who wasted no time in curling a right-footed effort into the bottom left corner from close to the penalty spot. Meanwhile, the result could ease a bit of the pressure on Leeds' American manager Jesse Marsch after two straight losses. But after a terrible start to the season, United has now lost just one of its last 15 games since a humiliating 6-3 derby loss to Manchester City in October. "But it means nothing because it's a long way to go." It was a rare bit of quality for United, with striker Anthony Martial and winger Antony both struggling to make an impact. We have to have consequences and it is what I expect on the pitch. Odegaard was once again Arsenal's main orchestrator in midfield and nearly set up Martinelli for a second with some remarkable footwork in the area but ended up doubling the lead himself in the 39th. Haaland, as ever, had looked like he would make the difference early on. We have to be more clinical and we know Rashy can score the goals and that's what he did." Suddenly Brighton was pouring forward, but Odegaard made them pay with a perfectly weighted first-touch pass that set Martinelli clear on the counter. And, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the season, he had no problems with the manager's decision. "I was a little bit late for a meeting.

Sports Desk, Dec 31 (EFE).- Arsenal sparkled Saturday in a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion that left the Premier League-leading Gunners 7 points ...
Mitoma scored again with two minutes left in regulation to set the stage for an epic battle in stoppage time until VAR intervened to disallow the goal for a barely detectable offside. With their fifth straight leaque victory, Mikel Arteta’s men improved to 43 points. Eddie Nketiah made it 3-0 for Arsenal just two minutes into the second half and the contest looked to be over until Kaoru Mitoma pulled back a goal for the hosts in the 65th minute.
Goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Eddie Nketiah had Arsenal 3-0 up by the 47th minute and seemingly cruising to an easy win.
Odegaard was once again Arsenal’s main orchestrator in midfield and nearly set up Martinelli for a second with some remarkable footwork in the area but ended up doubling the lead himself in the 39th. Suddenly Brighton was pouring forward, but Odegaard made them pay with a perfectly weighted first-touch pass that set Martinelli clear on the counter. “It’s still a long, long run to go,” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said of the title race.

However, a Kaoru Mitoma goal in the 65th minute threw Brighton a lifeline and though Gabriel Martinelli netted a fourth for Arsenal from a stunning Odegaard pass, Evan Ferguson made it 4-2 to set up a grandstand finish. Leandro Trossard had a couple of decent chances for the home side before Martin Odegaard added Arsenal’s second in the 39th minute, pouncing on a loose clearance and driving a shot that bounced up and into the net. Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah grabbed early goals in each half for Arsenal as they won 4-2 away to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday in the final Premier League game of 2022 to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

47' GOAL FOR ARSENAL! 77' GOAL FOR BRIGHTON! A first goal for Ferguson. Saka's corner is cleared to the edge of the box and Odegaard shoots, inadvertently, against the floor and it then bounces into the top corner. Martinelli's effort was deflected into the path of Saka - and as always his first touch was perfect and his finish was cool. Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka play with abandon on either flank which few defences have the wherewithal to withstand the structure behind the ball with Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in front of the back four means the vulnerabilities of the last decade mostly seem a distant memory (though Brighton's tenacity had them rocking a little in the final stages here).
