Liverpool’s next five Premier League games in comparison to Man City following the loss to Arsenal

Arsenal defeated Liverpool, denying them the opportunity to move eight points clear atop the Premier League standings.

The Gunners’ goals came from Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Bukayo Saka, while Jurgen Klopp’s team only lost twice all season. The Reds gave a terrible showing and paid the price for two errors in the second half.

After 13 minutes, Saka gave the Gunners the lead, putting the Reds behind. The England international was on hand to complete after Kai Havertz’s original shot was saved as Liverpool were sliced open.

HOW IT HAPPENED: Arsenal vs Liverpool

On the stroke of half-time, Luis Diaz’s persistence was rewarded as the ball was scrambled over the line. But midway through the second-half, Liverpool found themselves behind in North London.

Martinell couldn’t believe his luck as he tapped into an empty net, following a mix-up between Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk. Ibrahima Konate was shown a red card for a second bookable offence following a cynical block on Kai Havertz and moments later, Trossard rounded off the scoring.

Manchester City could move to within three points of Liverpool with a win over Brentford on Monday. The Reds need to respond against Burnley, and here is how the Reds’ fixture list in the Premier League looks over the coming weeks.
