Liverpool go into their game with West Ham on Monday night off the back of their first dropped points against a team outside the top six this season. Despite that, however, the Reds have managed to stretch their advantage at the top of the Premier League to 5 points, as Man City face Arsenal...
Arsenal host Liverpool on Saturday aiming to prove that they are genuine contenders for this season’s Premier League title.
The Gunners failed their first tests of the campaign against Manchester City and Chelsea, but have since taken 22 points from a possible 24 to move up to fourth in the table.

I went for a drink with a good friend last week - A Man United fan, unfortunately - and as usual, we spent a vast chunk of our time talking about football.
The usual discussion about how the top-four will end up looking cropped up, and after making our predictions - it will be Chelsea...
Following on from part 1 of this series, which can be read here. After more disappointing dropped points at the Emirates, that piece is worth a read. In this piece, I will take a brief look at the midfield and Klopp's use of his players in his various systems.

What has been the main narrative at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge back in October 2015? They can't beat the lesser sides.

In fact, it has been an achilles heel for...
Liverpool are back in the Champions League proper. The draw for the group stages could have been far worse than it has ended up being, but for now, that doesn't matter. What matters is Sunday evening at Anfield, for the first high-profile Premier League game of the season.
When Arsenal came to Anfield last season...
Let me get this out of the way immediately: I think Jordan Henderson is a better player than Emre Can.
