Arsenal face Fulham test, Liverpool target top 4 FMTNews FMTSports
LONDON: Arsenal travel to Fulham in the latest test of the Gunners’ Premier League title credentials this weekend as Manchester City aim to ramp up the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s men by winning at Crystal Palace.
AFP Sport looks at some of the key talking points ahead of the weekend’s action in the English top flight.Dramatic late fightbacks against Bournemouth and Aston Villa in recent weeks have kept Arsenal five points clear of City in the title fight. City have enjoyed a rare midweek off, but Pep Guardiola’s team selection could also be impacted by Tuesday’s Champions League last 16, second leg against RB Leipzig with the tie finely balanced at 1-1.Liverpool’s humiliation of Manchester United hauled Jurgen Klopp’s men back into the running for a top-four finish.
Bournemouth were annihilated 9-0 at Anfield in August, but Liverpool went on to win just one of their next four league games. A new-look front three of Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah then stole the show in spectacular fashion as all three scored twice against United.“Now we have five days or so of time to prepare for Bournemouth … We have to make sure we are ready for that fight.”
Their credit in the bank has kept them in charge until now as all four clubs below the Foxes and Hammers in the table have already sacked their managers at least once this season.
