While the Gunners and City go toe-to-toe at the top, another battle is on for the two remaining Champions League spots with Liverpool looking to be losing that battle.Manchester United’s former manager Alex Ferguson famously described the run-in to a title race as “squeaky bum time” but so far no such noises are emanating from Arsenal.
Mohamed Salah scored in the first half, but Liverpool unravelled after the break en route to their ninth Premier League defeat of the season, casting more doubt on their hopes of a top-four finish, with the gap now eight points. The two departures took the number of sackings to 12 in the league this season, underlining how much patience owners have with financial rewards at stake — be it through higher league finishes or simply qualifying for European competition.
Meanwhile, Potter looked out of his depth as he could not get his squad to be the sum of their parts despite the owners shelling out more than €600m on new players in two windows.Casemiro’s impact on Manchester United’s midfield has been hugely positive this season but if they ultimately fall short of their goals, his rashness may come back to haunt them.
