Arsenal would’ve been 8 points clear of Manchester City, assuming they beat Liverpool today.
Arsenal played a boring 0-0 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League, missing a chance to extend their lead on the Premier League table to eight points. Arsenal had a clear advantage to keep running away in the title race after Manchester City played a 1-1 draw with Brighton yesterday.
Manchester City had played three consecutive draws, granting Arsenal an advantage in the Premier League title race. The Gunners needed a win today to set themselves away from the pressure of the Cityzens, but Liverpool’s defence held strong.
Arsenal has the most attempts on target (2) in the game, while Liverpool didn’t create any major chances. The Gunners had close calls with Rice and Madueke flashing crosses across the bo,x and Alisson coming to the rescue on his team on multiple occasions.
Despite all their firepower, even bringing on Eze, Martinelli, Madueke, and Gabriel Jesus to replace Gyokeres, Odegaard, Saka, and Trossard, the Gunners still couldn’t find the back of the net.
It was a frustrating day for Arsenal fans, and they would hope that this draw doesn’t come back to hurt them in the long run, especially given that they failed to beat a Liverpool side that has suffered a dip in form for the past few months.
The Gunners have now failed to beat Liverpool both home and away this season, with Liverpool winning 1-0 at the start of the season courtesy of a Dominik Szoboszlai free kick, and now this draw. Arsenal are still the leaders in the title race as they hold a six-point gap over Manchester City who sit in second place.
