Aston Villa looking for 10th consecutive win and Afcon begins  matchday live
"Arne Slot's satisfaction of seeing Liverpool move level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea was tempered by concern over Alexander Isak's departure. The Sweden striker came on at half-time but was on the pitch for only 11 eventful minutes, sustaining an injury after being heavily tackled by Micky van de Ven in the process of scoring the opening goal. Isak and Conor Bradley are due for scans to under the extent of their injuries."
"Erling Haaland scored twice and Tijjani Reijnders once as West Ham were swatted aside, losing to City for the seventh time in a row after conceding at least three goals in the past six meetings. Viktor Gyokeres' emphatic first-half penalty sealed a slender yet merited win over an Everton team missing several important components. Arsenal were more efficient than impressive and rarely troubled throughout a scrappy contest, reports Andy Hunter at Hill Dickinson Stadium."
"There was more drama at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though. Nick Ames was there to see three goals, two red cards and a ghastly looking injury to Liverpool striker Alexander Isak as the Reds beat Spurs 2-1. Isak scored to make it 1-0 before Hugo Ekitike got the second, but the Sweden international was injured as he shot thanks to a scything challenge from Micky van de Ven."
Liverpool moved level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea, but Alexander Isak left after a heavy tackle. Isak came on at half-time and lasted only 11 minutes before sustaining an injury while scoring; Isak and Conor Bradley are due for scans. With Mo Salah at AFCON, Liverpool have only one available striker and limited right-back options. Manchester City beat West Ham as Erling Haaland scored twice and Tijjani Reijnders once. Viktor Gyokeres' first-half penalty secured a narrow win over Everton. Tottenham's match featured three goals, two red cards, and Isak’s ghastly injury; Micky van de Ven was not sent off, while Xavi Simons received a red for a challenge on Virgil van Dijk.
