The Liverpool players and staff were deservedly under fire following Saturday's 1-1 home draw with lowly Burnley. It wasn't just the garbage result that left fans fuming, but the boring, boring style of play, which had persisted for months. The Reds dominated the Clarets statistically, but Arne Slot's slow, possession-obsessed football did little to facilitate a knockout blow, leaving the door open for Marcus Edwards' 65th-minute equalizer.

Referencing concerns about this year's World Cup in north America and criticism in the build-up to Qatar 2022, Infantino said: "For the first time in history, also, no Brit was arrested during a World Cup." To laughter at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, he added: "Imagine. This is something really, really special." Understandably the comments angered the Football Supporters' Association, which accused Infantino of making "cheap jokes" about England fans.

"Those were good minutes, I'm taking it one step at a time and now I'll continue to grow," Gutierrez said.

"It won't be a normal game. I'll be seeing former teammates and familiar faces again. We know that Bayern are currently one of the best teams in the world. But we have quality too, we want to give Bayern a hard time and try to beat them at home. I'm really looking forward to this game," Wanner told Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

Tottenham are closing in on a January move for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. The 31-year-old has been a pivotal part of many of the Merseysiders' successes in recent years but has lost his place this season to Milos Kerkez. And with his contract expiring in the summer, the Scotland international said recently he was considering his options.

We've given ourselves a chance to get through and from that viewpoint, I'm delighted. My own view is that if we had stayed with 11 men, we would have won the game. Given the circumstances, absolutely [a point gained]. We're playing a good team trying to get into the top eight - naturally they're going to put pressure on us. We showed a great resilience. We have to win next Thursday, but even so, we've got a lot to think about before then.

My children always saw it on YouTube when I swore in the Premier League. It doesn't put me in a strong position at home when I'm bringing them up, telling them what to say and what not to say. But when I get really annoyed, when we're too arrogant ... we have to be convinced of how strong we are and we already know that. But I don't like unnecessary arrogance.

Rangers continued their fantastic form under Danny Rohl as they beat Ludogorets 1-0 to extend their win streak to seven games. Mohammed Diomande's goal in the 33rd minute was enough to separate the two sides at Ibrox, and though Rangers cannot qualify for the playoffs, Ludogorets' chances of doing so took a blow. The Scottish Premiership side started on the front foot as Youssef Chermiti saw an early shot saved by Hendrik Bonmann before Mikey Moore blazed the rebound over the bar.

One week ago we were at Newcastle and won 2-0 and you look in the Champions League how strong they are, I have an extraordinary team and we are all together. I don't have any doubts about that. [ Arsenal] are the best team in the world. They are the best team right now and hopefully we can be close, getting better, and they can give us one chance to catch them.

Everton manager David Moyes says it is a "big blow" that on-loan midfielder Jack Grealish has a stress fracture in his foot. Moyes said he could not give a timescale for Grealish's recovery.
