Liverpool 1-0 Brighton
Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Live at Anfield
Perfect start for Arne Slot and Liverpool. Horrendous cross field ball from Minteh across his own box. A little knock down from Joe Gomez into the path of Hugo Ekitike who drifts in between the centre-halfs, takes a touch and thunders the ball past Verbruggen.

I'd say Chelsea are just on top. Alejandro Garnacho skips down the left and wins them a corner. Reece James whips in the set-piece which is nodded over by Trevoh Chalobah.

Hugo Ekitike, like all good strikers do he has gambled, quick touch and a great finish.

It'a a superb finish from Hugo Ekitike.
Just the start that Arne Slot and Liverpool needed.
But what on earth was Yankuba Minteh thinking?
Chelsea 0-0 Everton
No lightning-fast start at Stamford Bridge. Both sides are happy to knock the ball about in midfield.

Yankuba Minteh with an aimless clearance, but he doesn't get enough distance on it, Joe Gomez wins the header and it drops perfectly for Hugo Ekitike and he hits his shot on the turn and it flies past Bart Verbruggen.

Image source, BBC SportChelsea's supporters in the Matthew Harding End have a banner proclaiming themselves "the King of Clubs".
However, on this cold afternoon, they will also be putting their team under some pressure to end a four-game winless run with a trip to Newcastle to follow in the Premier League.
There is trepidation from the Evertonians I spoke to due to their terrible record in this stadium but this is the closest the two teams have been in some time.
And we are under way at Anfield and Stamford Bridge. Just the two 3pm kick-offs today. Let's hope they are good ones.

Superstars are built differently and have different egos - Mo Salah is that.As was Eric Cantona at Man Utd, he was treated differently compared to the other players.

Image source, Getty ImagesArne Slot was, understandably, mainly asked about Mohamed Salah in his news conference this week.
But he did have time to talk about Liverpool's form. The Reds are unbeaten across their past four matches.
"We have shown we have been a team in the last four games that is difficult to beat and create chances against," he said.
"The team has worked really hard, put a lot of effort in, been a bit unlucky in the results but showed great resilience - four games in 10 days with not a lot of players available."

I thought Liverpool were excellent against Inter Milan.
They were under huge pressure because everything that was spoken about was Mo Salah and the difficult situation it has been for him, the club and particularly the manager.
I thought his players that he picked responded really well - you could tell they were behind him and were backing him.
It was a brilliant result. For the vast majority of the game they looked very comfortable, they cut out the mistakes from the game which we have seen so many times.
That has to continue now.

The introduction of Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have been fantastic and they have had massive impact at the club.

All eyes on Mohamed Salah. There was a hug from Dominik Szoboszlai when he walked out for the warm up but it's fair to say that Salah isn't all smiles.
That's hardly a surprise given he's on the bench and warming up with the Liverpool substitutes.
Liverpool v Brighton (15:00 GMT)
I am at this game for 5 Live and it will be fascinating to see what we get from Liverpool.
I am really pleased for Reds boss Arne Slot to get such a great win at Inter Milan on Tuesday after all the stuff with Mohamed Salah this week.
Slot should not have to put up with that nonsense. I know Salah has been a legend for Liverpool but essentially Slot just wants to win games and there is nothing personal in his team selection - he is not treating Salah any different to any other player in that sense.
Liverpool changed their shape against Inter and went with a midfield diamond and two up top.
Everyone is going to be talking about whether Salah is back for this game, but the only way he is going to be reintegrated into the squad is if he apologises. Slot's focus will be on winning this game, but it is a tough one.
You could argue it is the same for most teams but I find Brighton so hard to predict. I always feel they have got a goal in them, but they are quite open too.
Liverpool need to get back to winning consistently and putting a run together, but I am not sure how much their efforts at the San Siro will have taken out of them.
I have whacked a couple of Brighton players in my FPL team, Jan Paul van Hecke and Danny Welbeck, so they will probably lose now - but I do fancy them to get something at Anfield.
Sutton's prediction: 2-2

Nothing too much wrong with that Chelsea 11 but there’s only two on the bench who you’d want to see on the pitch later in the game.

Scenario 1: Liverpool play well, score a few goals, Salah doesn’t need to be brought on - Slot wins. Scenario 2: Liverpool playing badly in need of a goal, Salah comes on, scores the winner - Salah wins. What do the people want?

For me Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world and should be playing every game for Liverpool. Also to bench him is so uncharacteristically bad - Liverpool need to get their act together under Arne Slot.

Image source, Getty ImagesArne Slot didn't want any of this and he's been put in a difficult situation from one of his star players chucking his toys out of the pram.
I suspect there has been talks and some concession or I don't think Salah would be on the bench today.
Essentially Slot needs to win today, and if that's with bringing Salah off the bench if the game is tight then I am sure he will do that.
Slot has the best interest of Liverpool at heart.
Mohamed Salah has lost form and the manager has left him out. This ugly scenario has unfolded, but it's for Salah to put it right and not Arne Slot.

The Mohamed Salah situation just because he goes to Afcon - that situation is not going to go away...
In Arne Slot's interview he didn't say whether Salah had apologised or not.
I guess straight away the questions after the game... OK great, he was on the bench, but what did he say in the meeting? I still think there is a long way to go in this saga.

Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League games against Wolves, their longest winning run against an opponent since a run of 10 against Burnley from 2010 to 2019.
Wolves have won just one of their last 14 away league games against Arsenal (D4 L9), losing the last four in a row since a 2-1 victory in November 2020.
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 35 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, since a 1-0 home loss in February 1979. In English football history, only Wrexham against Darlington have had a longer scoring streak across all competitions (49 between 1929 and 1961).
This will be the 42nd Premier League match between the top side and the bottom side, with the league leaders winning 30 of the previous 41 (D7 L4). Wolves are responsible for two of the bottom side’s four victories, beating Manchester United at Molineux in both January 2004 and February 2011.
Arsenal are looking to win five consecutive home Premier League matches for the first time since between January and April 2024. The Gunners have also won their last seven at the Emirates against teams starting the day in the bottom-three, since drawing 3-3 with Southampton in April 2023.
Though they still have the best defence in the Premier League this season with nine goals conceded, Arsenal have shipped six goals in their last five league games, double the amount they did in their first 10 this term.
Wolves remain winless in all 15 Premier League games this season, with only QPR in 2012-13 (16) and Sheffield United in 2020-21 (17) having longer runs from the start of a campaign. Meanwhile, their two points is a joint-low after 15 games in top-flight history, level with the Blades from 2020-21.
Wolves are winless in 19 Premier League games and have lost their last eight in a row. Both runs are their joint-longest in their league history, also going 19 without a win between December 1984 and April 1985, and losing eight in a row between December 1981 and February 1982.
12 of Arsenal’s first 17 Premier League goals this season had come from set piece situations (8x corner, 2x penalty, 2x free-kick). Since Viktor Gyökeres’ header at Burnley in November, the Gunners’ last 11 league goals have all been from open play.
Arsenal winger Noni Madueke has scored four goals in his two Premier League starts against Wolves, including a hat-trick for Chelsea at Molineux last season.
