The pressure is mounting on Liverpool manager Arne Slot after a dismal home defeat to PSV Eindhoven, a result that marks the club's ninth loss in their last twelve outings. This alarming slump represents a stark contrast to the title-winning form they displayed just last season.
Arsenal's Formidable Momentum
While Liverpool falter, Arsenal's campaign continues to gather impressive momentum. Mikel Arteta's side secured a statement 3-1 victory against German giants Bayern Munich, a triumph that follows their crucial north London derby win. With a pivotal match against Chelsea on the horizon, the Gunners are now the clear favourites for the Premier League title and are arguably the most in-form team in European football.
Tottenham's Spirited Defeat in Paris
Elsewhere in Europe, Tottenham Hotspur experienced a night of mixed emotions. After a woeful weekend performance, they produced a far more spirited effort against Paris Saint-Germain. Despite leading twice in the match, Spurs ultimately fell to a 5-3 defeat, suffering their first loss in this season's Champions League campaign.
The discussion on these dramatic developments was led by Max Rushden, Barry Glendenning, Archie Rhind-Tutt, and Nicky Bandini on the latest episode of the Guardian's Football Weekly podcast.
