The three forgotten Arsenal players who must face PSV in experimental Champions League fixture
Ben White is among three forgotten Arsenal players who need to play against PSV in the UEFA Champions League next week
Arsenal could be handed a highly unlikely Premier League title race boost this weekend. The Gunners head into their weekend clash away at Manchester United after surprisingly thumping PSV 7-1 in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday evening in the Netherlands.
Just two goals and one victory from their last four games saw that result catch many off guard with Martin Odegaard bagging a brace and appearing back to his best while the front three all found the back of the net. If Arsenal can channel that cutting edge into the Premier League, the title race could be back on
24 hours after their dominant triumph away in Europe, Liverpool endured a very different evening with Paris Saint-Germain causing them huge problems. Arne Slot's side were able to hang on however and ultimately departed the French capital with a narrow 1-0 lead in the tie.
That challenging encounter and a stunning Liverpool points deduction warning could be the turning point for Arsenal with a scenario for this weekend that was impossible to imagine, now appearing a little more feasible. With that said, football.london has taken a look at the latest Gunners headlines.
Liverpool points deduction truth
Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett has suggested that points deductions could be dished out if fines do not have the desired effect after Liverpool boss Arne Slot was charged by the FA.
"I would like to see referees at the final whistle moving towards the tunnel rather than standing in the middle looking for handshakes and any complimentary comments," he told Football Insider.
"This will, I feel, reduce any tensions that have built up in the game. I hope that the level of fines will receive a more controlled approach by the manager and his assistant. If these fines going forward do not have the desired effect then we may see points deductions coming into play."
