Liverpool’s rivals overview: The Reds and other Premier League teams in European competitions are ready for their first selection tests, plus the latest on Jadon Sancho.
Liverpool can only do their job and see what happens in the rest of the Premier League, and for a while it didn’t look like that would happen against Wolves.
In the end, however, the quality of the Reds was seen. Mohamed Salah is the man who turned the tide.
He created three chances, canceling out Liverpool’s poor first-half performance when Wolves striker Matheus Cunha should have put the game out of reach.
However, Cody Gakpo and Andy Robertson scored in the second half before a deflected shot from Harvey Elliott bounced off the right post and temporarily put Liverpool top of the league.
It looked like Liverpool might be the big team in the spotlight this weekend before the turnaround happened, then Manchester United made sure they were the team to focus on (after a week it was already the case) losing comfortably at Old Trafford.
Here, Liverpool.com takes a look at the other big teams in the Premier League and across Europe to find out what’s new from other clubs.
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is open to a January move if nothing changes in his situation at Old Trafford by then, the Manchester Evening News reports, as the England international is currently in exile.
According to ESPN, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will not back down from demanding a public and private apology from Sancho, who accused him of not telling the truth about what happened behind the scenes.
The Liverpool home shirt for the 2023/2024 season pays homage to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager’s final season at Anfield.
The Nike T-Shirt has a bright red design with a striking white contrast on the color and cuffs.
Prices start from €59.95
Liverpool.com says: Manchester United were previously beaten by Brighton and have therefore lost three times in the Premier League this season.
To say the least, things are not going well for Ten Hag. Things could have been different for Sancho (and many others) if they had chosen to move to other clubs instead of Old Trafford.
After Liverpool briefly topped the table by beating Wolves, it briefly looked as if Manchester City and Spurs might slip. But Pep Guardiola’s team also come from behind. In the end they won 3-1 at West Ham.
Tottenham, meanwhile, scored a goal eight minutes into injury time and another two minutes later to avoid embarrassment against Sheffield United.
The Blades led 1-0 before Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski scored. This puts Liverpool in third place in the table and can only be overtaken if Arsenal beat Everton by more than four goals.
Liverpool.com says: Newcastle are also worth mentioning. Eddie Howe’s side narrowly edged out Brentford, ending a poor run and also keeping a clean sheet.
The Magpies are about to start the Champions League and face the real test of their current situation.
AC Milan’s midweek away game could have been a distraction, but Newcastle crossed the finish line here.
The question is whether the team will be able to face the coming weeks.
The fact that their European efforts are far less than those of Newcastle and others must simply be an advantage for Liverpool in the Premier League, and if that is the case it will soon be proven.Besides AC Milan, Newcastle also faces PSG and Borussia Dortmund. Surely this means Premier League points will be lost? We will see it soon.
