Liverpool and Manchester City kept the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race with both teams winning on Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s side went top of the provisional table after Erling Haaland scored twice against Everton. But Liverpool, who lost to Arsenal last weekend, took two points ahead with a 3-1 win over Burnley at Anfield. Arsenal face a tough challenge against West Ham on Sunday after their title hopes were dashed last season. There will be an exciting title race when Liverpool travel to Brentford later this season.
And the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea is also timed at an exciting time for Jurgen Klopp’s side. After Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker and Dominic Szoboszlai missed out on Burnley’s success, the United manager will be hoping to secure a number of key figures for the clash with Chelsea later this month. Here at Liverpool.com, we search the Premier League and across the continent to see what’s happening at Liverpool’s opponents.
Kylian Mbappe’s transfer saga is going nowhere as the French superstar enters the final months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe will become a free agent this summer and remains Real Madrid’s main target, with Liverpool monitoring the situation for a long time, according to Le Parisien and others. If Mbappé wants to move this summer, he can demand a big salary and signing bonus, but PSG will do everything possible to keep him. According to AS, the Ligue 1 champions have offered their star player a new two-year contract worth $172 million. Kylian Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires at the end of this season.
At this stage, it is unclear whether the 25-year-old is ready to accept the terms on offer. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was asked for an update on his side’s pursuit on Saturday, but coyly said: “You’re asking a player who plays for another team.”Liverpool.com says: It’s no surprise that PSG are trying to keep Mbappé alive with the prospect of getting nothing for them in a few months. However, Real Madrid remain top of the table and a deal for that money is currently out of the question for Liverpool.
Even the Spanish giants may find these sums too spectacular. Bayern Munich’s title hopes were dashed after Xabi Alonso lost 3-0 to Leverkusen. The Bundesliga champions lost 3-0 on Saturday night after Harry Kane put in a particularly poor performance. Leverkusen are five points ahead of Bayern Munich, who have enjoyed an unbeaten season so far.
Kane, on the other hand, claimed the win again. “We didn’t play well with the ball. I thought there was a lot of pressure, especially in the first half and the second half, we put good pressure on them, but every time we got the ball back, we gave it right back to them. “The former Spurs captain told Sky Sports.
