It may just only be October, but it seems as if Liverpool's English Premier League title challenge could be all but over even before Halloween after Jurgen ...
The team is some way below the standards set in recent seasons. With 15 minutes remaining, Arsenal was awarded a penalty and Saka beat Alisson from the spot to put the Gunners in the lead for the third time in the match. Summer signing Darwin Nunez leveled in the 34th minute only for Saka to put the home team ahead once again with a strike just before the break.
It seemed fitting that the last significant act of this game should be Gabriel Martinelli veering and skittering about in the far left-hand corner of the ...
But it was the way they did it that was striking, the sense of a switch of roles. And for the rest of the half Martinelli and Saka probed away there, while Liverpool stuttered. The cross was perfect for Saka to slide the ball home. But this was Liverpool, with that trophy-laden four-man forward line; and Martinelli and Saka just took the game away from them. It was Arsenal here who played like a hard-pressing systems team, a mist of controlled movement; Arsenal who played like Liverpool, that previous Liverpool, the one that will run more, work at your weak points, who create the rage around here.

Only Manchester City (13), Arsenal (12) and Tottenham (10) have won more points in that time.

Since that fateful day, which led to Scott Parker being fired as manager, the Cherries are unbeaten in the Premier League and have collected nine points from five games under interim boss Gary O'Neil. Since then he's failed to notch against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Everton, Brighton and Arsenal. Liverpool have found themselves trailing at half-time on six occasions already this season having only been behind once at the break last term -- at Manchester City in April. The team went on to finish seventh in the table, 28 points behind champions In total, the Reds have already seen 14 points go begging this season. This comes after Klopp's side finished 23 points above the Gunners in last season's standings.
