Liverpool’s youngsters do the job again
Virgil van Dijk’s usual centre-back partner Ibrahima Konate wasn’t fit enough for a spot in the matchday squad, handing just a sixth Premier League start of the campaign to 21-year-old Jarell Quansah.

Erling Haaland’s frustration boils over
There’s no barren run at Anfield for Erling Haaland to worry about given he did score on his first appearance at the stadium while at RB Salzburg in the Champions League.
However, the Norwegian behemoth has now gone two league games without netting at the home of the Reds, with chances evading him in Sunday’s meeting. Haaland managed only one shot on target, lifting an effort straight at Kelleher after being shown wide by Virgin van Dijk.
He wasn’t the only player to lose his rag, but the sight of Haaland getting into a scuffle with Joe Gomez deep into second-half stoppage time hinted at the striker’s frustration after a difficult afternoon.
The stats point in Man City’s direction for fourth straight title…
Man City were tested in all departments on Sunday and, while they’re a point behind both Arsenal and Liverpool after the draw, Pep Guardiola’s side are in an excellent position to go on and retain their Premier League title.
