Liverpool hold a seven‑point lead, but Arsenal’s recent 5‑1 demolition of Manchester City shows they’re not backing down. The Gunners have a youthful burst that could close the gap, especially if they keep the pressure on Liverpool’s star forward, Mohamed Salah. Liverpool, on the other hand, faces a cramped schedule that could lead to fatigue. If the Reds can manage their squad rotation, they’ll stay in the hunt; if not, Arsenal’s momentum could turn the table.
Key matches coming up will decide a lot. Liverpool must navigate tough fixtures while keeping their defense tight. Arsenal needs to maintain consistency and avoid dropping points against lower‑ranked teams. Fans are already debating whether the title will slip away from Liverpool or if Arsenal’s energy will finally catch up.

The Euro 2024 showdown in Frankfurt pits Belgium’s firepower against Slovakia’s gritty defense.

Slovakia counters with Robert Bozenik in goal and a solid back three featuring Juraj Kucka, Stanislav Lobotka, and Milan Škriniar. Denis Vavro’s fitness is still in doubt after a muscle issue, which could affect their defensive stability.
