Sources: L'pool's Arthur out 3 months with injury
On-loan Liverpool midfielder Arthur Melo will be out of action for three months after suffering an injury in training, sources confirmed to ESPN.www.espn.co.uk

2 big games for the Dippers against the 2 best sides in the PL. To get their season back on track they need to be looking at a minimum 4 points which on current form looks unlikely. I just hope we put in a similar performance like we did for the 1st half against the Rags, they won't be able to cope with us.If arsenal do them tomorrow, although even a draw will probably do and then we give them a battering next week we will completely end their season and the famous mentality monsters will have a breakdown in October. Please!!
Oh, I don't know: if they have a certain Mr England on VAR duties...I just hope we put in a similar performance like we did for the 1st half against the Rags, they won't be able to cope with us.
I’m just waiting for the point in the season when we can discount the dippers from the title race.
Too early atm.
I suggested to a Liverpool fan down the pub yesterday evening that with City and the three London clubs all at it, if they don't win v Arsenal their league season could be over before it's even begun.People have short memories of last season. They were quite a way behind then but with games in hand. They're still a good team. I'm hoping for an arsenal win tomorrow.
I don’t think this is very fair showing the top 4. To be welcoming to all the lurking dippers we should show the top 10 so they still feel relevant. Obviously if they lose today we should just show the whole table moving forwardFor any lurkers……

It’s really gearing up for a great title race this season. If Chelsea & Arsenal win their games in hand then only 5 points separating 1st & 4th. No wonder it’s the strongest most competitive league in the world.
Little City flying the flag for the North against the London power houses.
What a clusterfuck of a transfer window.

He was adamant in his response. Oh no, he insisted, we (yes, he sad "we". He lives in Ireland, has never been but it's a broad church, the Anfield Cult. Anyway, I digress...) Oh no, we were 14 points behind City last year and we clawed it all back.
No, ye didn't.
Oh yes, we did.
I think it was Twain who said, never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience...
I apologised. Explained how it must have slipped my mind that Liverpool won the league last year.
The narrowing of the eyes, the depth of his puff of breath, as he regarded me in that moment.
Football's 'not the same anymore, anyway', apparently.
They may well have been 14 points behind at a specific point in time but that would've involved having 2 games in hand. I've done a like-for-like comparison of last season, with the points after an equal number of games played.Oh no, we were 14 points behind City last year and we clawed it all back.
Get out of here..... it's all over & not fair apparently.For any lurkers……

Dips really can't afford to lose this especially with us up next.A Liverpool loss will effectively put them out of the title race and it'll be squeaky bum for the top 4. Arsenal's bottle will eventually go, so an Arsenal win for me.
It should always be about what is best for us, so I agree with you - though ideally I’d prefer a draw so they both drop points.Probably get told to fuck off you **** but I want dippers to win Sunday only for the fact Arsenal are up our chuff and dippers aren’t.

Yeah, I’m looking at the numbers you’re talking speculation & emotion; both valid points of view imho - and anyway we’re agreed a draw would be best!I just don’t think Arsenal will keep it up so it might be best for us today but it’s what’s best come the end of the season, Liverpool are capable of hitting a long winning run so I’ll hope for a draw but if not I’d like arsenal to win for quite a few reasons

I expect a fiesty game, ideally with a red card for one of their best in the world players....any one of the 11 will do.
As I recall, they were only briefly 14pts behind - and that was because we kicked off earlier than them one particular day.They may well have been 14 points behind at a specific point in time but that would've involved having 2 games in hand. I've done a like-for-like comparison of last season, with the points after an equal number of games played.
They were, at worst, 8 points behind us around Xmas/New Year time. So they actually clawed back 7 points over the next few games. That's good but it's hardly 14 points.
