EPL round-up: Liverpool fights back vs Arsenal; Man United loses again

As the weeks go by, Liverpool is showing the quality and resilience to be Manchester City's chief title rival in the Premier League this season. Liverpool twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Arsenal on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah scoring the second equalizer in the 81st minute at Emirates Stadium. It's just one loss in 13 games in all competitions for Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot this season. A testing past week has seen the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 in the league, eke out a 1-0 win in Leipzig in the Champions League, and now battle back for a draw at Arsenal the other likely challenger for City's crown. If Liverpool's inner belief is growing, then doubts might be increasing about Arsenal's durability in the title race after finishing runner-up to City for the past two seasons. The biggest concern might be the list of injuries, to which defenders Gabriel and Jurrien Timber were added after they came off in the second half. With defensive linchpin William Saliba missing throu

Liverpool FC sets target for Alisson's return from hamstring injury

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson aims to return to action this weekend, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday. The Brazil international is recovering from a hamstring injury and has been ruled out of Liverpool's English League Cup third-round match against West Ham United on Wednesday. Back-up keeper Caoimhin Kelleher replaced Alisson for the 3-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday and is set to retain his place against West Ham. Alisson is getting there but I think this game is coming just a bit too early and we are looking at the weekend against Wolves, but it's going to be tight," Slot said. But, he will not be there tomorrow so Caoimh will be in goal." Italian forward Federico Chiesa could make his first start for Liverpool against West Ham. Slot said the offseason signing is still working his way to full fitness. I don't think he's able to play 90 minutes, he only played 25 now as a maximum in the last three, four, five months, he said. But, he is able to start, in our opinion.

Premier League: Arsenal get under City's skin amid 'dark arts' accusations

Call it the dark arts. Call it anti-football. Call it doing whatever it takes to win. Arsenal tried it all against Manchester City on Sunday in the latest chapter of the Premier League's new heavyweight rivalry and came within seconds of victory. There was only one team that came to play football, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva grumbled after an intense, absorbing and incident-packed 2-2 draw at Etihad Stadium. The other came to play to the limits of what was possible to do and allowed by the referee, unfortunately. John Stones' equalizer for City in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time denied Arsenal, which played with 10 men for the entire second half, what would have been a defining victory for a team that is getting closer and closer to Pep Guardiola's repeat champions. City's players know it, too. Hence Bernardo's outspoken post-match comments on Arsenal. Notice how Erling Haaland chucked the ball at the back of Arsenal defender Gabriel's head in City's

Diaz's brace helps Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 to top of points table

Luis Daz scored two fine goals inside two minutes as Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 to move to the top of the English Premier League on Saturday. Arne Slot's side leads Manchester City on goal difference only and the defending champion needs a draw at home to Arsenal in Sunday's big game to reclaim first place. On a rare quiet day for teammate Mohamed Salah in front of goal, Daz scored off both feet to display his own finishing skills at Anfield. The Colombia forward chased down a long pass from defender Ibrahima Konat, controlled the ball exquisitely on his waist as he turned, and then glided past goalkeeper Kepa before sliding the ball into the bottom left corner in the 28th minute. That was with his right foot, and his second goal came off his left in the 30th. Liverpool broke from midfield and Trent Alexander-Arnold galloped forward before slipping the ball to Daz inside the left of the penalty area and he clipped it neatly past Kepa. Darwin Nez scored a fine third in the 37t
