    Two points missed, and I think that was it for Arsenal City with the game in hand, and the difficult fixtures ahead for Arsenal won't amount to many points for Arteta's men. Fun while it lasted, of course – but this was the game they couldn't afford to drop points.

    Great game wasn't it ?
    I thought we were going to get thrashed after going 2 down but great comeback and unfortunately for us salah missed the pen.

    Good point for Arsenal and you guys are still in it for sure, so it's still fun until the final game of the season.

    I don't know why the ass ref did this to robbo ? very strange.

    Anfield is a tough place for any team though I do think Arsenal have missed an opportunity, before the game I felt City will likely win almost every game as they have found there stride, Arsenal need to not lose at the City ground.

    I think Arsenal need to win against City for a title challenge to still be possible. I can see Arsenal dropping points against both Brighton and Newcastle – which makes it all the more important to win that City fixture.

    Missed your comment @007InAction, sorry! It was a great game for sure; I was so nervous throughout – but obviously disappointed that Arsenal couldn't keep Liverpool from scoring that second goal.

    I see no action is to be taken against the ref that elbowed (?) Robertson. Strange situation, by the looks of it. Wonder what was said between the two.

    Here are the gameweek 31 captaincy picks!
    Haaland: 9
    De Bruyne: 2
    Kane: 2
    Toney: 1
    Chilwell: 1
    Saka: 1
    Salah: 1
    Martinelli: 1

    There are no surprises this week; Haaland is again the most popular pick, captained by 9 managers. De Bruyne and Kane are the only other captaincy picks backed by more than one manager, with two each. Good luck everyone!

    Your team looks to be in good shape even though you missed the deadline, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns! Many are looking to bring in Alexander-Arnold, as well as City defenders.

    It's worth planning the chip strategy with upcoming gameweeks in mind. There's definitely a lot of points to be gained!

    Ouch! Haaland can still match him though. Brought Ake in myself, but he's on the bench tonight…

    I almost did not make the move as Haaland blanks next, I though abut ditching Kane though because I had so much money in the bank sold Watkins huge mistake.

    Spurs lost also wow, could be a good weekend for Man United with Newcastle losing as well.

    Four players to play still, so you might still manage a good gameweek score.

    The top four is really up for grabs now. Can include Villa among the teams that might end up playing CL next season!

    Watkins and villa playing so well but played 2 more games.

    Pep resting players was risky with maddison and ihenacho almost scoring.

    Indeed, they have to have some results going in their favour – as well as delivering the results themselves too, of course.

    Didn't watch the second half, so I didn't know until later tonight that Pep was quick to make some changes. Won't be surprised if he rests players whenever he can for the rest of the season.

    Yeah United must beat Forest today, hopefully Arsenal will win also. My worst or second worst nightmare is City winning the Treble.

    I would be very surprised if United fail to beat Forest. West Ham could be a tricky fixture for Arsenal though. I fully expect City will win the title – but it remains to be seen if they can manage the treble.

    I fear for Arsenal even if they win this game they don't look great at the back right now.
