🔮 The plan would always have been that when the ball goes into Mac Allister, Odegaard it’s your job to get after him.
🔮 His performances quickly caught the attention of Arsenal, who will add the Republic of Ireland Under-17 international to their academy ranks in the New Year.
🔮 The under-fire Carrick will remain in charge for the visit of Roma despite a third successive defeat at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Aston Villa also visiting Old Trafford before the next international break begins.
🔮 Alonso’s side will fancy their chances of making it back-to-back victories against a Sunderland outfit who sit rock bottom of the table after being brushed aside by newly-promoted Coventry last time out.
🔮 But to do so they will need to end their hoodoo at this famous old ground, where they have remarkably not won in the league since 2012.
🔮 Barcelona loanee Ronald Araujo, who played in central defence on Wednesday night, is set to resume his regular role at right-back in the absence of the injured Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley.
🔮 But to do so they will need to end their hoodoo at this famous old ground, where they have remarkably not won in the league since 2012.
🔮 Influential midfielder Szoboszlai limped off just over half an hour into his return from a hamstring issue suffered on international duty with Hungary that initially led to him missing two matches, while winger Munoz sustained a knee problem in the same fixture after scoring the equaliser against the Bees. Both players have sat out the last three games in a row against Villarreal, Brighton and Chelsea, though Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola admitted at his pre-match press conference on Friday that there was “a chance” they could each return against Arsenal.
🔮 Iraola made sweeping changes for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup win over Chelsea in midweek, but Alisson Becker, Jeremy Jacquet, Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola and Alexander Isak are all expected to return to the starting lineup against Arsenal.
🔮 Cole Palmer then stepped up to dispatch the spot-kick for Chelsea as Senne Lammens got two hands on the ball but could not keep it out, leaving reeling United trailing 2-0 with 10 men and 25 minutes still to play.

Narrative

Much of the praise for Arsenal’s winning goal against Liverpool has gone to Rice for his driving run and perfect delivery for Havertz to sweep home from close range at the back post, but Carragher gave special plaudits to Odegaard for leading a suffocating press that saw the hosts quickly cough up possession in their own half following a short goal kick - which has been a notable problem area in recent weeks.
