Trent Alexander-Arnold's miss could haunt Liverpool but the manner of the draw with Arsenal enhanced rather than damaged the credentials of Jurgen Klopp's side. They have issues to address but they are in much better shape than the start of 2023. @JamesPearceLFC ⬇️

Mikel Arteta called Declan Rice, William Saliba and Gabriel 'phenomenal' after the 1-1 draw at Anfield. And with the strength of that defensive triangle in place, Arsenal look less likely to wilt in Premier League title race. @JordanC1107 ⬇️
Arsenal didn’t have Rice or Saliba at Anfield in April. With both in the team yesterday they did what was beyond them last season and arrested the team’s loss of control. That defensive triangle does not look like wilting. Steel and composure. https://t.co/jqyX2LVcaX
Arsenal were in the Anfield washing machine after half time, suffering what Arteta calls that paralysing loss of power ‘pajara’. But Declan Rice lived up to the ‘lighthouse’ metaphor. His composure seized momentum back in the final 30 minutes. https://t.co/jqyX2LVcaX
A tale of what might have been for #LFC with the big chance that went begging and the penalty that wasn’t given. But this was a night that enhanced rather than damaged their PL title credentials. The intensity was special. They have come a long way. https://t.co/1X9CKU8S57

Some outstanding defending from Saliba, Konate and Gomez in particular. And some outstanding shielding of the back-four by Rice. #LIVARS excellent game. Good outcome for #MCFC. #AFC need to test Brentford resolve over Toney.

"Anfield was outstanding tonight, I think everybody felt it. It was brutal. It was really nice to see what we can do all together." ✊ Jürgen Klopp's press conference 🗣️
Today was proof that Burnley are getting better. They've been building towards this result. Yes, they rode their luck. Yes, it wasn't pretty. But they got it. Kompany's players are developing; it is just whether there is enough time. #twitterclarets https://t.co/ISb5SnLYtR
