A bankruptcy of FC Arsenal against Crystal Palace would have made FC Liverpool a master on the couch. The Gunners narrowly missed it.
After the 2: 2 (2: 1) on Wednesday evening (April 23, 2025), Arsenal and the Reds are now separating twelve points and a goal difference of ten in favor of Liverpool. In practice: Liverpool would have to lose all outstanding games (there are still five), Arsenal win his four games and catch up with the gate deficit.
Sunday party alarm on the Anfield Road
Every football fan is clear in England, even if both teams meet again in England. First, the Arne Slot team does not give any indications of a complete break -in. It is much more likely that the full party program on the Anfield Road will be triggered on Sunday (5.30 p.m./live ticker at Sportschau.de).
On the other hand, the current performance of the Arsenal does not indicate twelve points from the four games against Bournemouth, in the direct duel in Liverpool on May 11, against Champions League candidate Newcastle and at the end of May 25th against Southampton-this was shown by the game against Palace.
Ex-Mainz Mateta hits the final score
Ultimately, the table twelfth was enough to cover arsenal the draw. The early tour of Jakub Kiwior (3rd minute) equalized the guest through Eberechi Eze (28th). Three minutes before the break, the Gunners went through Leandro Trossard
Although again in front, this also gave neither security nor sovereignty: the ex-Mainz Jean-Philippe Mateta hit the final score in the 83rd minute.
Almost throughout the second half, the class -poor game had reminded of handball – but almost only in one direction. Arsenal flared up the Palace penalty room, but both the pace variations and any surprise moment were missing.
Also other jobs than the Premier League
While Crystal Palace will now go to the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa, Arsenal should increase against PSG against PSG next Tuesday (9 p.m./live ticker at Sportschau.de) in the Champions League to get a good starting point for the second leg.
