Very tough game for LFC on Wednesday. Aresenal in their best form of the season and Salah is a doubt.
Will be a cracking match
Will be a really good acid test for both sides - if Arsenal can be competitive and stand up to Liverpool that will bode very well for the run home and their Champions League chances. On the other hand, Liverpool can really build momentum by both closing the gap to a single point and doing it against one of the real in form sides.
This feels like a critical champions league qualification run for both Spurs and Arsenal. Both will be counting on a strong summer transfer window to bolster/refresh their squads. That will be a lot easier with champions league as a carrot. If Arsenal win against Liverpool that will be a big step towards finishing top 4 for Arsenal.

After Liverpool they have
Villa A
Palace A
Brighton H
Saints A
Chelsea A
ManU H
West Ham A
Leeds H
Newcastle A

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.

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

Back to the UCL, 3 teams from England, 3 from Spain, 1 from Germany and 1 from Portugal. Draw will be critical and the 3 English teams, Bayern and Real Madrid will be keen to get one of the other 3.

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!
