Arsenal are further down the track towards a title-winning team while Liverpool wrestle with a volatile streak
Got on a lucky one. Came in at 18-1*. I’ve got a feeling, this year’s for me and you. Well, perhaps. On the other hand, we could just wait until April, the Guardiola spring surge, some post-op Kevin De Bruyne, and take another look then.
For now, Arsenal’s trip to Anfield on Saturday evening looks like a rare opportunity for Jürgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta.
