We’re pretty sure some Arsenal fans, if not a majority of them, were hoping for this scenario – the Gunners win at the City Ground, and Newcastle still at least a point at Anfield on Wednesday night.Instead, it ended completely different as the table-toppers widened the gap between them and the runners-up to 13 points following Arsenal’s goalless draw and Liverpool’s routine 2-0 home win against the Magpies.Liverpool are unstoppable! 🔴🚀 pic.twitter.com/S5WFBQmtu2— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) February 26, 2025 Although without Arne Slot in the dugout – due to his two-match ban – the Reds showed no signs of stopping, brushing aside the pale visitors. Eddie Howe’s side faced a massive blow hours before the kick-off, as their best player this season, Alexander Isak, was injured and had to be omitted from the squad. Callum Wilson found himself in the striker’s position but couldn’t find the back of the net in a couple of more than promising situations as he’s definitely out of form.On the other hand, the title contenders scored a goal in each half, and that 2-0 victory doesn’t accurately reflect how confident and dominant the hosts were against the sixth-placed EPL side.SZOBOSZLAI GOAL!

Mohamed Salah dominated again on the right wing, assisting the Argentinian for the second goal. It was Liverpool’s 20th EPL victory in the current campaign, as the Scousers are now just inches away from the much-deserved title.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 27TuesdayBrighton – Bournemouth 2-1 (1-0)/Pedro 12 pen, Welbeck 75 – Kluivert 61/Crystal Palace – Aston Villa 4-1 (1-0)/Sarr 29, 71, Mateta 59, Nketiah 90+1 – Rogers 52/Wolverhampton – Fulham 1-2 (1-1)/Gomes 18 – Sessegnon 1, Muniz 47/Chelsea – Southampton 4-0 (3-0)/Nkunku 24, Neto 36, Colwill 44, Cucurella 78/Wednesday Brentford – Everton 1-1 (1-0)/Wissa 45+4 – O’Brien 77/Manchester United – Ipswich 3-2 (2-2)/Morsy 22 og, De Ligt 26, Maguire 47 – Philogene 4, Jaden 45+2/Nottingham Forest – Arsenal 0-0Tottenham – Manchester City 0-1 (0-1)/Haaland 12/Liverpool – Newcastle 2-0 (1-0)/Szoboszlai 11, McAllister 63/Thursday 23.00: (1.65) West Ham (4.00) Leicester (5.25)***odds are subject to change***
