Ashley Young's superb strike earned Aston Villa a 1-1 draw on Monday at relegation rivals Nottingham Forest who climbed off the bottom of the Premier League. Emmanuel Dennis put Steve Cooper's side ahead early in the first half at the City Ground before Young bagged Villa's equaliser with a long-range rocket. By ending their five-match losing run, Forest moved one point above Leicester into 19th place.
Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League and plunged Liverpool's into turmoil as Bukayo Saka's double inspired a thrilling 3-2 win on Sunday. Mikel Arteta's side have emerged as title challengers and this hard-fought success at the Emirates Stadium was another significant statement of intent. The Gunners took the lead inside the first minute through Gabriel Martinelli before Darwin Nunez equalised for Liverpool. Saka put Arsenal back in front late in the first half. Although Roberto Firmino equalised after the interval, Saka's nerveless penalty sealed Arsenal's eighth win from their nine league matches.
Arsenal will be hosting Liverpool in the ongoing Premier League 2022-23 season at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal are currently at the second spot in the standings, 2 points behind table-toppers Manchester City while Liverpool are at the 10th spot with 10 points from seven games. The Gunners have been in fine form this season as they have won seven out of their eight matches in the Premier League. On the other hand, Liverpool have found the going tough and they need to rekindle the magic if they want to keep their hopes alive of finishing in the top four.
Erling Haaland will no doubt be in focus as Manchester City take on Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday. With three back-to-back home hat-tricks in the league, the Etihad Stadium will be watching in anticipation if the Norwegian striker can make it four trebles on the trot. With a win, City can go top of the table, with current leaders Arsenal set to host Liverpool on Sunday. For Southampton, the challenges are completely different, as they look to steer clear of the relegation zone. Currently 16th in the league, Ralph Hassenhuttl's side will look to put on a strong show and come away with at least a point against Pep Guardiola's team, who are high on confidence after their 6-3 thrashing of rivals Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp said Friday that Liverpool must rediscover their unpredictability after a disappointing start to the season and expressed his belief that misfiring striker Darwin Nunez has a bright future at the club. The 2020 Premier League champions have won just two of their opening seven games in the English top flight and are already 11 points behind leaders Arsenal, their opponents on Sunday.
Manchester City have been fined 260,000 pounds ($293,000) and given a warning over the pitch invasion which followed their Premier League title win in May. Fans flooded onto the pitch after City dramatically fought back from 2-0 down against Aston Villa to win 3-2 and pip Liverpool to the title by a point. Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen was assaulted during the disorder, while the crossbar at one end collapsed under the weight of supporters.
Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has signed a new contract that keeps him at the club until 2025, despite a poor start to the season that has left the newly promoted side bottom of the Premier League. Cooper, 42, was reported to be facing the sack earlier this week after a run of five successive defeats, but he has now tied his future to Forest for the next three years. "It puts clarity on speculation," said Cooper, whose existing deal was due to expire in 2023.
Liverpool's faltering Premier League title challenge could suffer a fatal blow if leaders Arsenal win Sunday's marquee match-up at the Emirates Stadium. Powered by Erling Haaland's incredible form, Manchester City will aim for another goal spree against Southampton, while Manchester United could turn to Brazilian midfielder Casemiro after their derby demolition.
