Arsenal confirm that they will offer subsidised coach travel for supporters at £10 in light of challenges for supporters. Sky having chosen the game for broadcast meant it had to move into an available slot, 8pm on Saturday, when Crystal Palace will also play Leeds.

⚠️CAUTION: SHOCKING CONTENT The cover-up is always worse than the crime... and this crime is pure evil. This 2-minute clip comes from the verbatim film 'The Grooming Gangs Cover-Up,' which details the heinous acts done to children uncovered at trial. @elonmusk

The problems are just too familiar for Liverpool at this stage of the season. The back to back wins showed how good this team can be but to achieve what they want will take a level of consistency that looks beyond them right now.

The Reds couldn't follow up their win over Real Madrid and may have lost their PL title hopes in the process

Surely all three lawmakers wouldn’t be buying high and selling low unless they knew something…? (Notably, the stock price for Accenture still hasn’t recovered.) With Subversive ETFs, you’ll have access to the privileged information, too.

Slot: The last thing I should speak about is the title race. We should first focus on getting results. Result after result after result before we can think about the title race.

Slot on Van Dijk's goal being ruled out: "I would like to emphasise on the fact that being 2-0 down was a fair reflection of how the game went. I’ve been on the opposite side that my team was a lot better, 1-0 up and the other team gets a set piece and things change."

Guardiola: "I said to the players don’t do it because yesterday Arsenal didn’t win. Do it for ourselves. Do it because we’re playing against the champions of England."

Pep Guardiola on Doku: "He never will be a top, top scorer to be honest but he’s demanding himself to be better… He played an outstanding game. Outstanding."

Liverpool spent nearly £300m this summer building an attack to ease their reliance on Mohamed Salah. Today Salah took three of their seven shots and assisted three more. He had over 60% of their xG. And this was a rather poor performance by him.

HT - Man City 2, Liverpool 0: Probably even more comprehensive than that scoreline suggests. Referee decisions haven't favoured the visitors but they're also not dealing with the most basic problems out of possession.

Shot deflected off Van Dijk to leave Mamardashvili with no chance but poor from Ekitike (I think) not to get out anywhere near quickly enough. That typifies Liverpool's first half.

Robertson "deemed to be making an obvious action directly in front of the goalkeeper". But was he actually between the ball and the goalkeeper?

I am not at all clear how Michael Oliver thought that Donnarumma's ability to save that header or view of it was impeded by Robertson. Decision was made very quickly.
