Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday afternoon means that manager Arne Slot has now matched an unwanted record that hasn’t been seen at Anfield in 11 years. Liverpool went into the game on the back of two Premier League defeats, but a Bryan Mbeumo opener in just 62 seconds set the tone.

Tottenham seek to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal when they take to the field to face Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon. Thomas Frank’s side have got off to a fine start winning four, drawing two and losing just one of their seven top-flight games this season but they know that the pressure never lets up for teams partaking in a title race.

Tottenham have not got the quality at the top end of the pitch to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.

Liverpool will take their Carabao Cup defence to Wembley after battering Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Ange Postecoglou's men had a 1-0 lead from the first leg, but the competition holders have won 4-1 on aggregate after a comfortable 4-0 win on the night.

Like Spurs, Villa are showing signs of finding a better balance in attack, albeit they have faced obliging opponents of late. Their growing confidence will be put to the test over the coming weeks, with three successive Premier League fixtures against Champions League sides. After Spurs, they host Manchester City and then face Liverpool at Anfield.

Aston Villa fans had been waiting for Morgan Rogers to take his England form back to his club this season, but he did so in spectacular fashion on Sunday.
