'One of the biggest games of the Arne Slot era'
Welcome to Anfield where we have one of the biggest games of the Arne Slot era. Win and the Dutchman buys himself some credit, regardless of performance. Lose and the fans will be on his back, even if they play well.
He has never been under pressure before so it will be interesting to see how he and the team react - but it is fair to say this game is absolutely must win.
So far today
By Lewis Browning
As I mentioned, there are seven Premier League games that have taken or are taking place today.
Here’s a roundup of what has happened so far:
- Brighton 3-0 Leeds
- Burnley 0-2 Arsenal
- Crystal Palace 2-0 Brentford
- Fulham 3-0 Wolves
- Nottingham Forest 2-2 Manchester United
- Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea Let’s see how this one goes!
Villa's welcome improvement
By Lewis Browning
It’s almost been the opposite for Aston Villa. They failed to win any of their first five, picking up just three points, but have won their last four.
Last time out they picked up a mega win against Manchester City. They have also beaten Tottenham in that run too, and are now up to eighth in the standings.
Win today, and they will really push down on how serious their ambitions this season are.
Liverpool's barren run
By Lewis Browning
We all know about it. It is a secret no longer. A crisis? Probably.
After winning their first five matches of the new season and looking like they would romp to another Premier League title, Liverpool have lost their last four. Unthinkable, given their last few months.
Would you bet against it becoming five for five here? I’m not sure. But one thing I’m sure of is that Arne Slot needs to sort this out - or he could find himself under a little bit of pressure…
Liverpool are back in action!
By Lewis Browning
Goooood afternoon one and all and welcome to Daily Mail Sport’s live coverage of Liverpool vs Aston Villa in the Premier League from Anfield.
It’s been a mental day so far, but we’re not done yet. This is the seventh game of the day - a round-up to come later - and it could well be the best.
Kick-off is set for 8pm, so stay tuned until then for all the build-up!
