Limp Liverpool Lose in London
A lax display saw Liverpool fall to their second post title win defeat with a 2-1 reversal at the hands of Arsenal.
A Sadio Mane goal gave the Reds the lead, but two huge errors gift-wrapped two goals for the Gunners for Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson. The visitors dominated the possession, in terms of shots on goal and territory but a half-hearted effort meant they couldn't capitalize and the hosts held on for a win that means Liverpool cannot …

Key Stats As Liverpool Draw At The Emirates
Liverpool took the lead at the Emirates thanks to a rare open-play James Milner goal – and should have had another goal if not for a poor refereeing decision – yet ended up with a draw thanks to conceding a late equalizer. But what were the key stats as Liverpool shared the spoils with the Gunners?

Arsenal Form
Before last Sunday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace, Arsenal had won 11 games straight in all competitions. A tough start to the season, facing Manchester City and Chelsea in their opening two league games, left The Gunners with two defeats but they then turned their form around, and how.
Yet, the argument …
A marriage of inconvenience, why Sturridge should stay
After an exceptionally bizarre opening goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League Final, Liverpool were sent into ecstasy upon Sadio Mane’s equalizer.
Madrid turned to their bench and tapped Gareth Bale who then scored a worldie, and followed that with a second that was as puzzling as Madrid’s first.
Liverpool looked down their bench and saw … Dominic Solanke? A willing but rust-ridden Adam Lallana had already been summoned early on for the injured Mohammed Salah and that in …
Roberto Firmino - How Good Is He?
Bobby Firmino. A player with so much to offer Liverpool. Bobby is a huge component of what Jürgen Klopp is trying to build for so many reasons, and he’s having an absolutely terrific season as he starts to fulfil his potential in this team. Whilst Mo Salah has been rightfully grabbing the majority of the headlines, Bobby has been doing what Bobby does best: going about his work. And now many are starting to reckon that Liverpool’s number nine is …

With 13 wins from their last 14 home league games, the Gunners will be hoping to take Liverpool to task on Friday night. Wenger and co will almost certainly still be hurting from the 4-0 defeat they suffered at Anfield back in August, too.

Is Mohamed Salah's start to the season being underplayed?
When Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah for £36.9m on 22nd June 2017 it wasn’t to the kind of fanfare one would expect for a club record signing. Sure, many Liverpool supporters were made up with the transfer, but it didn’t feel huge in its magnitude. It didn’t reverberate around the league. Certainly when you consider what was to follow.
By the end of the transfer window, Mo Salah would prove to be only the 10th most expensive signing of the summer. …
