If Arsenal don't make it they will have choked Clear in 4th with three games in hand on the chasers. None of whom are in compelling form
After Liverpool they have
Villa A
Palace A
Brighton H
Saints A
Chelsea A
ManU H
West Ham A
Leeds H
Newcastle A
Everton H -
Man U out of the Champs League losing at home
Benfica knock out Ajax as well

It will be a very tough match for us (LFC) as Arsenal are in their best form in some time and we need to win to take advantage of City’s draw.
Salah is fit apparently.
Something tells me a draw is likely 🤬
Pretty sure that Arsenal will get top 4 now regardless of the result tonight
Been raining in London for the most of the day. Still raining now.

@mariner4life And a great result down in Brighton for their nearest rival with Tottenham Hotspur FC tonking Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 to move within three points of the Gunners for the 4th Champions League position. Next up for the chop from Spurs is West Ham United with fingers crossed Aston Villa can make it a forgettable couple of days for Arsenal.

Not exactly EPL but came across this brief article which which had me chuckling
Sussex football stadium named best in the UK (and it's not the Amex)
Lewes Chairman Stuart Fuller says it is important for them to have British football’s greatest ground.

Here is another list where stadiums are ranked according to beauty. This one will certainly have @dogmeat doing a lap of honour.

@higgins
The Cottage is consistently (well I've seen it twice which is one more than necessary for me) voted one of the best football grounds in the World!!Should be even better next season in the EPL when the new Riverside stand opens complete with swimming pool on the roof! Plus a concourse that will allow the public to walk all the way from Putney to Hammersmith Bridges and it's own (new) pier for river taxi's.
It'll be equally as good the following year when we are back in the Championship
Two listed buildings - the oldest professional club in London. What's not to like?

There aren't many grounds with character left with the out of town functional industrial estate monstrosities.
I was always fond of Luton's ground where the entrance looks like you're wandering tthrough someone's front door
and Brentford used to have a pub at each corner

Bottom of the EPL fascinating this year.
Newcastle been on a great run under Howe until coming unstuck at Chelsea (to one of the best touches you’ll ever see from Havertz). Then losing again 4 days later to 10 man Everton. Shouldn’t have as NC on top and Wood should have been on the score sheet. Not sure about Woods effectiveness honestly which is a shame.
On the flip side the Everton win meant so much, Lampard broke his hand!

FA Cup Semis
City v Liverpool
Palace v Chelsea -

Don't get me wrong, we'll probably lose to Palace.
But the write up on the BBC this morning all about Liverpool / City and the 3 trophies they were hunting for (PL, FA, CL) pissed me off.
I would love it love it love it love it love it if they won none of them.
(ok, I concede the PL is defo going to one of them ... having said that it's not impossible. They are 11/10 points clear of Chelsea with an extra game played. So if Chelsea win and then Liverpool / City draw against each other & Chelse win that around, those numbers will drop to 6/5 points clear)

@majorrage thaaaat's a little sensitive
Liverpool have already won one trophy, and are currently still alive in 3 more. City are alive, and favoured, in the remaining 3. That's the kind of narrative the media loves.
Yes Chelsea are there in two of them. Good stuff. Well done to a club that might be bankrupt in a week...

City favoured in the remaining 3? How many champs league has Pep won with them? It’s one less than finals they’ve played in. Who did they lose to?
Oh that’s right, another English team still in it. Whose not even mentioned.
I tend not to get sensitive about Chelsea - everybody hates us. Boo Hoo. Pretty happy to not be considered a league contender, but for the other 2, it’s pretty shit. They even mapped out the paths to the finals for both.
And let’s be clear. Liverpool have so far won one thing. And if you play the odds, that’s what they’ll finish the season with. Chances of them winning all 4 are so minute, you shouldn’t be writing articles about them.
