Gaffer continues dream start
Liverpool sit top of both the Premier League and Champions League under new manager Arne Slot.
Nobody expected him to make this start to his Reds’ career and he continues to rewrite the record books.
Slot has won 14 of his first 16 games as Liverpool manager.
This could be a season to remember for their fans if it continues how it has started.
GUNNER BE MISSED
Arsenal will be without Declan Rice for Wednesday night's Champions League clash with Inter Milan.
The England midfielder, 25, did not travel to Italy with his Gunners team-mates.
Rice played the full 90 minutes as Arsenal were beaten 1-0 at Newcastle on Saturday.
But he did not take part in training on Tuesday morning.
It is not yet clear why Rice was absent.
But Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will have to do without the £100million man as his side take on the Italian champions.

Arteta unlikely to risk talisman
There is no doubting that Arsenal have looked a pale comparison of their best without Martin Odegaard.
The good news for Gunners' fans is that he has returned to training a lot earlier than expected.
While he is travelling with the squad to Italy, it remains to be seen whether Mikel Arteta will risk him in this crucial match.

Signing arguably the best striker in the world seemed to make Real Madrid unbeatable given their current squad.
Mbappe's career in Madrid has not taken off as many expected.
A player who has never won the Champions League, could his curse mean Ancelotti's side miss out on the biggest trophy this season?
A heavy defeat at home against rivals Barcelona has been followed up by a 3-1 loss to AC Milan this evening.

Pep left frustrated in Portugal
Football can be a cruel mistress at times.
Man City dominated the first-half against Sporting Lisbon but did not take their chances and paid the ultimate price.
It means that Pep Guardiola's side have now lost back-to-back games and the injuries are mounting up.

Incredible second half performance from Liverpool.
There will certainly not be any Reds fans wishing Xabi Alonso was their manager instead of Arne Slot.
Next up at Anfield in the Champions League are Real Madrid and what a game that could be.
FT: Sporting 4-1 Man City
What a way to say goodbye to their fans.
Pep Guardiola's side have been trampled by Sporting Lisbon.
All of that after having so many chances to score before the hosts had even registered their first.

Who writes Ruben Amorim’s scripts?
A fairytale way to say goodbye to the home fans at the Jose Alvalade – and endear himself to the new ones at Old Trafford.
A night they will be talking about for years to come in this part of Lisbon.
And what about Viktor Gyokores – he even eclipsed Erling Haaland by scoring a hat-trick – while the Norwegian thumped a pen against the bar.

They got Arne Slot and they are top of every league in which they compete so far this season.

Touch of class from the home fans as they sing their Xabi Alonso chant once the victory is sealed.
