Liverpool clearly dominated the second half, honestly Arsenal was dominated and forced to play much defensively at second half. Liverpool had all the chances to win this match with two or more goal margins, but they failed to convert any, although two got to the woodwork, but nearly cannot kill a bird. Arsenal had some really nice chances this second half, but Liverpool's defense is rock solid and they've Konate to thank because that guy is a blessing to their defense, he singlehandedly blocked three good shots that I know of.
Gomez really did well after being substituted, he really troubled Saka from the left back and rendered all his tactics and antics futile. I enjoyed every time he dispossessed Saka and he did it do well that Saka intelligently avoided him on several occasions and gave away the ball instead.
I really love how Virgil coordinates their play from the back until they're ready to launch an attack, nice play from them all, my only annoyance is that they wasted the opportunity to go top of the table.

Arsenal and Liverpool did played a very interesting game today and I did enjoy the game as both teams did performed well enough, there was no much dominance over the other and at some point there was some level of balance in play, totally both teams deserved the goals they did got and sharing the points equally wasn't far from expectations.
Both teams have now been able to maintain their on e point difference from each other as Arsenal still remains at the top of the table with 40 points and Liverpool is now 39 points at the second position on the table, Liverpool did have a few counter attack chances which would have given them a lead ahead of Arsenal but then it turned out they couldn't convert it to a goal or probably they were having a bad day But the Arsenal also tried to make their defense tight such that they didn't conceive any other goal, it was a goalless second half .

Draw is not a bad result for Gunners to be honest. The game was in Anfield and the closest opponent Aston Villa gave up on 2 points against the bottom team so Arsenal is still on top. Two birds with one stone, both Liverpool and Aston Villa stayed behind. The win could be better obviously especially when they took the early lead but I won't complain to this draw that much.
A draw was definitely a good one for both teams, the game was more of the clash of titans as both teams played their best, nobody wanted the other to dominate the other and that's how it should be for big teams like these. Arsenal where trying to make a difference as per they are the table leaders and the beautiful bride of the moment, but Liverpool where able to contain them at least with the home advantage. One incident that caught my attention was that penalty committed by odegaard when the ball hits his hand at the 18 yard box and it wasn't awarded a penalty by the referee, I really think that would have been a PK, however it was a good game. 
Arsenal was lucky to get a draw in this match because Liverpool had all the chance to win the match. While Àrsenal coach celebrated the draw, Liverpool coach felt so bad for it. That shows that Liverpool actually came to win and they played well.
Assuming Liverpool was able to convert some of their chances, they would have won with good margin. One of those clean chances was Alexander-Arnold kick that hit the bar. Today's match was actually interesting and brought back a lot of good memories.

I admit that this match was very good and not too disappointing, both teams showed that both teams deserve to be at the top of the rankings this season.
Apart from the draw in this match and Arsenal are the ones who benefit the most from this draw. I really enjoyed this match, I thought the first half was the peak of the excitement of this match, it turns out the second half was even more exciting. The intensity and tempo of play in this match both displayed the best performance, and the stamina of both teams was equally crazy. One of the players who should be appreciated in this match is Joe Gomez. In fact, the defense was really cool in this game.
Lol Manchester United this season can’t be compared to Chelsea of the previous season because they’re currently in a better position than Chelsea who were battling 12-15 position as at this period last season. The loss was expected because West Ham are a pretty good side that could hurt you with a counter. And that’s what the just delivered on at the London Stadium.
Manchester United's performance is still better than Chelsea's performance last season, at least they are still in 8th place, but do you know how low Manchester United will go in their position before the end of the season? Just 18 matches have been played by them, and their performance keeps on dropping. Let's expect them to keep on dropping in position. I know West Ham are a dangerous club, but I was not expecting Manchester united to lose the match, I was expecting maybe a win from Manchester United with a slight goal difference or a draw from Manchester United. Even during the first half of the match, I was hoping Manchester United would score at least one goal, but they couldn't score, and West Ham was able to secure two goals in the second half of the match.
Lolz Arsenal and Liverpool Match was something else. One of my sister nearly broke plate because of the match before the coach fell down. The game was fun. I was not thinking that Liverpool would played the match to draw level they really tried. Though Arsenal oppressed them more but their defense was good so Arsenal could not penetrate to it just like that. G. Magalhães scored first before M. Salah scored to equalize with them and got yellow card. Well the both sides played well.
It's really an interesting encounter between Liverpool vs arsenal, it's half time, are they are playing out a 1-1 draw, but the var officiating has really been bad, why would they not call back the penalty incident, a clear hand ball from ordegard.
But as it's stands now, it can go either side, it's a close tie no doubt, but if their is a winning in this game, I see Liverpool coming out victorious.

Certainly in the game between Liverpool and Arsenal we experienced an interesting match between the two teams. Both the teams played well and the match was hard fought between the two teams and they shared the points at the end of the game. Liverpool conceded a goal 4 minutes into the first half, but then Mohamed Salah leveled the game in the 29th minute with a superb strike. Then neither team could make any mistakes, until the last minute it became a draw between the two teams. The two teams had a thrilling game where the ball was almost evenly matched between the two teams, making this the most exciting game in the Premier League today. Between the two teams, Arsenal were earlier in the points table which saw them move 1 point ahead of Liverpool, at the top of the points table. But as it's stands now, it can go either side, it's a close tie no doubt, but if their is a winning in this game, I see Liverpool coming out victorious.

Yeah this is a match for first place, whoever wins will be at the top of the standings and so far both teams are playing with equal opportunities. At first I thought this would be an advantage for Liverpool because they were playing at home but it seems Liverpool haven't been able to take advantage of it but yeah there are still 10 minutes left in the match anything can happen even in extra time. If this match ends in a draw then both teams will be in the same position as last week Arsenal is in first place and Liverpool is in second place, Liverpool just replaced 3 players at once it seems Klopp really wants to take advantage of this opportunity it's easy to guess what he wants lol, meanwhile Arsenal only replaced one player this means Mikel Arteta still believes in the current line up or maybe he used another option, for example replacing several players in the last 5 minutes.
Yeah today's match is an unlucky day for gamblers because several matches are not as expected starting from the defeat of Manchester United then Newcastle were also defeated including Fulham really unexpected and next Liverpool and Arsenal only played a draw a complete package for gamblers on a bad week, only Tottenham match was exactly as predicted. Tomorrow Chelsea will play their 18th match and I'm afraid the same thing happens to Chelsea, I mean lose or draw but yeah, sometimes Chelsea is difficult to predict.
I guess we all see this coming that Newcastle will be losing to Luton after Aston villa was only able to savage a draw against Sheffield United yesterday, I know this win will definitely mean alot to little Luton and I'm happy for them in the end the quality of a player is still really affected by their mind set. I don't bet with Chelsea and Manchester United except on rear occasions though I still use a double chance because this two teams are the unstable team Infact this season there have not been high surety on Epl matches since like every weekly fixtures there is always a shocking match, La Liga and Bundesliga has been much easier to predict this season

The match has ended 1-1 and this could be a fair result for both teams, apart from some controversial referee decisions but overall the Liverpool and Arsenal match was really very interesting, both teams were very active in counterattacking, get 1 point for both does not change the current standings and makes the competition even tighter, the game of the two teams is quite balanced and they even have the same number of shots, namely 13 attempts, but unfortunately only two goals are scored.
It was a clear penalty but I have very little to say as it wsd checked by VAR. Liverpool has been a victim of poor officiating one too many times this season. Not surprising to see.
Both teams have been victims of bad officiating, but on this penalty issue, I think the officials got it correctly because it would have been unfair to award that penalty against Odegaard and Arsenal when it was obvious that he was slipping and about falling. The game was very entertaining, and both teams deserve the points in the game. Arsenal will be pleased with this result because they are the away team, who are playing in a stadium where it is difficult to win the home team. Arsenal will continue with this one point on top of the table, and other teams who are 3rd, 4th and 5th will be pleased because the gap did in points did not increase so much.
It's such a shame on Manchester United this weekend haven't lost again to a smaller club like west ham united it is a pain in the ass to keep seeing Manchester United playing such a declining level of football for a second time all in one season, 2:0 goals score from West ham is another seal to point to the fact that man united have a lot to do in this season if ever there will come close to the top 10 at the end of the season.
Many of the club fans have suggested that Manchester United should go in to buy new players in the January window but my question is, will the new players be able to give the club the face turn that it deserves because In the long run, it will all ball down to the fact that the new signees will still be needing time to truly integrate with each other before their can perform well.

Erik Ten Hag must be going mad and crazy otherwise he wouldn't be making all these unnecessary mistakes and repetitions of tactics that doesn't work for him.
How can he repeatedly play Scott MC Tominay ahead of Bruno Fernandez who is a better attacking and creative midfielder. Bruno Fernandez has been underperforming because the tactics of the coach affects him alot. They did well during the first half of the game but the blunder from the young midfielder narrowed their own chances of coming back into the gane after that goal scored by the Englishman Bowen.
Kudus and Lucas Paqueta today had another great combination yet again. It was a beautiful goal and they read the game intelligently. They deserved the win. Manchester United should be against Aston Villa up next.
I am quite sure right now the problem is with the management. They cannot win a match these days. Although I would argue about West Ham being a small team with @Wiwo who are currently doing far better than them, Manchester United's decline is what nobody thought of.
I think Manchester United should sack Ten Hag, get a new coach, and give him half of the season that is remaining to build his team. If let's say a new manager arrives next season, he would take at least half of the season building his team. But if he starts now, then I don't see any issue. They can't win anything this season anyway. The max they can earn is a spot in Europa League right now. But if this performance continues, I doubt they will achieve anything.
They signed a few players this season, and most of them had a decline in performance. We had a lot of hope when Ten Hag joined last season from Ajax, bought in some of Ajax's players, and he was doing good but this season it has been downhill. Players are getting injured as well so thats a huge problem to solve as well.

Thank You for this.
Players like Marcus Rashford that should be making runs into the eighteen yard box wants to play the role of a midfielder? He's one player Erik Ten Hag should count out of the club. I don't know if it's the increase contract he be receiving but the sudden change in his body language is something I don't like. Erik Ten Hag is part of the issues because if he sees all these and fails to correct them week after week then he must be very dump imo!!
Graham Potter almost turned Chelsea to Nothingham Forest last season, he is such a good coach who haven't managed a big club, how do they expect him to managed a big club like Chelsea? He was also given enough chance and couldn't do shit. Linking such a coach to Manchester United doesn't make sense honestly.

I would instantly agree with you if Marcus Rashford was an exception, but did you notice how many players of Manchester United developed a bad body language ever since ten Hag was signed as the coach? Rashford isn't the only player who seems to be out of motivation and steam and ten Hag did the impossible and made Ronaldo have a bad body language as well. He is like the plague for that club. The loss against West Ham was the consequence of many bad decisions that have been made for a long time now. I am waiting for the club to finally sack him now because if they don't, what are they hoping for?
It seems that for this season Manchester United want to rival Chelsea last season to become clowns lol.
They still play like this and continue to not be able to make conditions better for Manchester United even though this can still be maximised but in the end they have to lose with a score that is quite disappointing for themselves.
Their possession was good but they were so fixated on it that West Ham's counter-attacks seemed to be left unattended which made the conditions not too good for them in today's match.
This is obviously very disappointing and there should have been an intervention for Ten Hag from the officials because if it continues to be allowed then indeed this will only make them even more chaotic and Ten Hag will continue to do as he pleases this season because there is no intervention or pressure to improve Manchester United's performance from the current officials.
Now the effect of this loss is a ripple effect from what the fans have been on, these players aren’t too serious and are not ready to play for the badge. Yes they kept the possession but there are still some bluntness in the attack and you can see when ever they head to get a goal, the spirit dies.Yes, Ten Haag has got a lot to do this December and January else I don’t think he’ll be able to survive getting fired by the end of the season if the takeover isn’t completed.
Thank You for this.

Liverpool is the slight favorite in this game and I think that if they win it would be a fair result based on the performance I have seen so far.Aston Villa had their golden chance yesterday night which they threw away in the most unbelievable way as they drew against Sheffield United at home.Now any team coming victorious from this encounter between Liverpool and Arsenal will have a clear view of the top of the standings as other opponents could not win and Manchester City had their game postponed because they played yesterday in the Clubs World Cup final which they won against Fluminense with 4-0 as a result.
The arsenal vs Liverpool match will be take place in next 30 minutes, is today that we will know who's real title contender and title pretenders. It has been while way arsenal win Liverpool for Anfield, is about ten years ago now way arsenal win against Liverpool. But I have 80% sure that Arsenal will be the winner for today match.
Here we go, everyone in England has nothing else to do now. No matter what appointments are coming up, they are watching football. And it only took 4 minutes and a goal was scored, arsenal lead 1:0. Gabriel with a header into the goal, that was the first chance of the game and immediately successful. Then VAR and a check to see if it was offside, but no, everything was okay. In the meantime there have already been 4 shots on the liverpool goal and it looks like it will happen again soon. Powerplay Arsenal.Both teams are playing aggressively with hard tackling's making the game so hard for both teams, however the game is interesting in the second half. Mo Salah has been so dominating on the arsenal defense side constantly mesmerizing zinchenko on each one on one. I think Liverpool are going to kill this game as they have been more attacking than arsenal in this second half.
That's a very bold prediction considering the fact that Liverpool have only lost once this season and Anfield is a fortress but Arsenal are already up 0-1 in the first 3 minutes. Astonishing to say the least. But Liverpool is known this season to be the biggest comeback kings so I won't totally write them off.
If Arsenal is scoring this early, this might be a high scoring game and action packed.
I'd be back at half time.
Arsenal though are not to be written off because with the lead already, they would ensure they add to it seeing that Liverpool stands between them and the top spot of the EPL. Both teams would be playing to have the advantage and it's going to be more interesting than it already started. See you after 90'. Am rooting for Arsenal still in this match.
Well, 1-1 now and second half is already underway. Liverpool is looking more stronger with each passing minute and the Anfield roars are getting louder.
If Liverpool continues this high press up in Arsenal's half, I'm very sure that they'd get more than 1 point today. See you as well at 90". My money is on Liverpool to win it. 3 points and top of the premier league on Christmas and possibly on Boxing day + new year.

It was a clear penalty but I have very little to say as it wsd checked by VAR. Liverpool has been a victim of poor officiating one too many times this season. Not surprising to see.
Liverpool's first half against Arsenal was quite good, and in my opinion the first half which should have belonged to Arsenal failed to be maximized well by Arsenal's attackers. And after Liverpool fell behind 0-1 in the early minutes, Liverpool often made long passes and this actually reversed the situation which overwhelmed Arsenal's defense and Liverpool managed to equalize the score at 1-1 in the 29th minute through Mohamed Salah's goal.
The second half is already underway, it looks like in the second half the match will be even tighter and more interesting. The reason is that both of them have the ambition to get a full position to occupy first place in the standings.
The first 10 minutes of the second half is full of missing opportunities from Liverpool, as they are creating a lot of chances in which they would have used to net the post but it was all in vain. Salalah is making some mistakes now.The second half is already underway, it looks like in the second half the match will be even tighter and more interesting. The reason is that both of them have the ambition to get a full position to occupy first place in the standings.
Matineli is a player that has been a problem to Arsenal in this match as he is very greedy with the ball and he does not release the ball at the right time and before you know it Liverpool players will win the ball. I see that this second ha e is more tensed than the first half as both teams are desperate to net the post and take the lead. Liverpool is more in control of the ball currently.
