Arsenal's title chances took a major hit on Saturday as the Gunners were beaten by West Ham and Liverpool fully capitalized with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists his side cannot afford to focus on the challenge of Arsenal after dropping more points against Aston Villa on Wednesday. The Reds currently sit eight points clear at the top of the table but missed an opportunity to extend their lead after being held to a 2-2 draw at Villa Park.

Of the top seven, only Liverpool and Newcastle won. Chelsea had a great chance to move into the top four, but they couldn’t hold on at Villa, going down to a fourth defeat in their last five games. Enzo Maresca has a few pressing problems, but finding a new goalkeeper has to be near the top of his to-do list in the longer term.
