Chelsea, United, and Spurs play Thursday so them being on Sunday makes sense and then they probably wanted to keep Liverpool/City as a showcase piece

Makes sense I suppose, I just can't remember a time where there were 3 matches in the Sunday lunchtime slot.

Liverpool playing a City who’s in their worst form ever under Pep and without Rodri. The luckiest.

Ibou Konate, who has been no worse than the 2nd best (to his team mate) centerback in the league got injured on the last kick of the game against Madrid. Bradley who pocketed Mbappe might have come off injured too.
They’ve been without their starting keeper for two months
They’ve been without their starting striker for one month
Their starting LB hurt himself in training so they had to go back to Robertson
Their only summer signing (who isn’t still playing for his former team) has been out for two months. And has played a whopping 78 minutes this season
They just got Elliott back after three months and he hasn’t kicked a ball since.
And They are still 8 points clear. Granted City can still beat anyone and this could be very different after the matchweek
You lot are delusional. If you want to copy off of me at least have the facts to back it up.

Which league? Merseyside Sunday (Competitive)?
Arsenal was called the luckiest while their players were injured lol. Shit, arsenal has a worse injury record this season - which is the only reason Liverpool scrounged a point - and the narrative is tough shit don’t make excuses.
No shock coming from you though. The bad faith merchant is peddling bad faith arguments.

Just an example. Obviously not the be all/end all, but eye test matches and (as of right now) so do the table/GA/GD/etc stats too
Arsenal were called the luckiest because of all the teams they played without their best players available last season. Played everyone at the right time. I stand by that.
No they don’t. The injuries Arteta keeps lying about don’t count as actual injuries. And even if it isn’t; one team has dealt with it a lot better. So we aren’t the ones making excuses here. You are the ones that are still (as of today) behind this City side that is supposedly so terrible. And yeah I’ll take that scroungey point
How is this bad faith? I showed my work. Where are the lies.

Makes me upset... I'm in London this week and get to see Chelsea/Villa(which should be a good game). But United plays at the same time... so I get to 1)miss it live and 2) can't enjoy watching it in a pub.

Trent is supposedly back fit for this weekend, but according to Paul Joyce, Conor Bradley is out and could miss most of December. Which especially after his performance against Mbappe is a major blow during a very tough holiday period.
As for this weekend, this is a Jason Voorhees game for Liverpool. They have to cut City’s head clean off if they are going to cement themselves as favorites. Need to do it like they did in 19/20 and just not let City up for air. There’s a league to be won, but it still feels on a knife edge. If we can make it to January on a similar margin will feel really good, but a long way to go until then

Probably Chelsea's most important game of the season so far. Villa are there for the taking, and the more that a gap can begin to emerge between the sides in 3-4-5 and those in 6-7-8 the better. A win against Villa and the outcome at Anfield either puts us: in 2nd (Liverpool win or draw) or 6 points off top (City win).
A few tough lineup calls. When Lavia has been fit, Maresca has consistently preferred him to Enzo. But Enzo was terrific against Leicester and Palmer generally has played better this year when Enzo can take on more of the deeper progression burden. Do you drop Madueke for one of the guys who's been cooking in the Conference League, especially when Nkunku's playing time is becoming thought of more and more as a 'problem'? I think Mudryk could do a bang-up job up against Matty Cash. How do you toy with Palmer's positioning to ensure that John McGinn doesn't break his knees?
All this said, we will almost definitely be unchanged from the game against Leicester, save for Neto coming back into the starting XI.

I budgeted for the assumption that Brighton aren’t gonna make up a 4gd in one match, but yes Arsenal could pass on gd depending on margin.

I didn’t mean it as a correction, although I can see it how it came off that way. Just crazy how close it is

And Konate out too
Him and Bradley are both week to week at this stage. Very terrible timing

Southampton go ahead goal denied by VAR for offside after 4 minute check.
Not sure who was offside, but if it was Armstrong with his stupid backfoot attempt, what was he thinking. If it was Archer, then fine, he was alone in front of goal and scored.
