Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on Football Daily

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock watched the scenes unfold inside Anfield on Sunday, as Arne Slot's side bounced back from dropping points at rivals Everton:

There was a lot of feeling around about what the derby might have taken out of the players, mentally what that had done to the players. There was a feeling that they had let that game slip and whether that would be costly.

Once Wolves got that goal [to pull it back to 2-1 in the second half] Liverpool were very edgy. There was tension within the stadium and they were nervous, wondering what potentially could happen.

The last 20 minutes or so Liverpool couldn't control the ball, they couldn't string a pass together. It was a worrying time for the fans.

In case you missed Andy Robertson's comments, the Liverpool defender accepted that "everyone gets nervous" after his side held out for a 2-1 win at home to Wolves at Anfield on Sunday.

The Reds went into half-time with a two-goal lead but had to endure a difficult final 20 minutes after Matheus Cunha pulled a goal back for the relegation strugglers.

"The players get nervous, the crowd gets nervous - that's only natural," said Robertson. "But another game down. This result is big."

BBC Sounds

Mark Chapman was joined by former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, Premier League winner Chris Sutton and the Athletic's Adam Crafton in this week's Monday Night Club, which is available to listen to now in the latest edition of the Football Daily podcast on BBC Sounds.

The team discussed the latest developments in the title race, focussing on Liverpool defender Andy Robertson's comments about the players and fans getting "nervous" during Sunday's 2-1 win over Wolves at Anfield.

Can Arsenal continue their 15-match unbeaten run to put further pressure on the Reds, who have a seven-point lead over the Gunners with 13 matches remaining?

We will bring you the top lines from the podcast as we build up to Arne Slot's news conference at 09:00 GMT, which will preview Liverpool's game at Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

Liverpool

At around 09.00 GMT we expect to hear from Liverpool manager Arne Slot, previewing their Premier League meeting with Aston Villa tomorrow.

We'll bring you everything he has to say right here.

To mark your card, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is expected at around 14.00 GMT today.

So, in the spirit of Keown finally saying sorry to van Nistelrooy, we'd like to know about the longest waits you have ever had for an apology.

It could be sporting, or not. You could still be waiting for the apology, or not. It could be for something done to you, or for a famous sporting event involving your club or team which still aggrieves you.

Let us know using the details above. And please, keep it relatively light, we don't want any fall-outs. Nothing too major anyway.

A final word on the action from the weekend just gone, and it goes to Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and TNT Sports pundit Martin Keown.

They met pitchside ahead of Leicester hosting Arsenal in the Premier League, and it was a much friendlier meeting than when they clashed as players during a league game between the Gunners and Manchester United in September 2003.

Keown infamously mocked van Nistelrooy for missing a late penalty in the 0-0 draw during a bad-tempered game later known as the 'Battle of Old Trafford'. Older and wiser, Keown apologised for confronting the Dutchman, external - 21 and a half years later.

"Apologies for all the shenanigans that went on back in the day," he told van Nistelrooy as they shook hands, to which the Leicester boss replied: "Nah. What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch."

The first thing that strikes you on approach to the stadium along Liverpool's dock road is its sheer size. It is absolutely enormous.

Goodison Park, flanked on three sides by rows of Victorian terraced housing, can sneak up on you. But there is no missing this place. A gigantic, futuristic mesh of steel and red brick, combining the old and the new.

"It's out of this world," said Andy, a Goodison season-ticket holder who has signed up for Bramley-Moore next season.

"We could not have wished for a better stadium. Everyone is excited, old and young.

"It will be a wrench to leave Goodison but when you see this, it is going to be the envy of everyone."

It is hard to imagine this was a working dock just three and a half years ago. It was filled in over the space of three months, with a dredger making 130 round-trips 20 miles into the Irish Sea to collect 480,000 cubic metres of sand, pumped in to form a solid base for the stadium foundations.

There is a vivid sense of anticipation and childlike wonder as fans walk up the steps to get the first glimpse of their team's new home.

"It is a spine-tingling moment" said Tom, who along with his son Elliott, are signed up season-ticket holders for next season. "What a ground Goodison was - but it is time to move."

"It is breathtaking," said Dave, another Goodison season-ticket holder who will be heading to Bramley-Moore next year.

"Goodison has been our spiritual home but you cannot fault this. It brings us right up to date with the best."

I think Evertonians are now being realistic, and a mid-table finish and not being in a relegation battle for large parts of the season, will be enough. There's an understanding this stadium costs money and it will take a bedding in time to get used to the surroundings.

There is a feeling around Everton they've had the riches, and blown them, so need to be sensible. One of David Moyes' biggest strengths is he is shrewd and will not waste money.

Is there a danger now that the run they have been on, if this carries on, of them really overachieving? If David Moyes finishes the season so strongly, what will happen at the start of next season? There will be huge expectation next Everton can push for a top six place.

While on the face of things this short, sharp episode has gone better than anyone expected, I can just imagine the Everton fans under David Moyes at a new stadium. What I wouldn't like is for Everton fans to get so carried away if this run continues.

It may have been a dark, freezing Monday evening on the banks of the Mersey, but Evertonians hopelast night signifies the start of a bright new future.

Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock opened its doors for the first time to 10,000 lucky Toffees fans successful in a ballot for an under-18s friendly against Wigan. The visitors won 2-1.

Four years in the making and at an estimated cost of more than £750m, the club will move in fully over the summer in time for the start of the 2025-26 season.

The 52,888-capacity ground will be the seventh-biggest in the Premier League and has been selected to host matches at Euro 2028. It is hoped the project will contribute an estimated £1.3bn to the local economy.

Wigan's Harrison Rimmer - a boyhood Liverpool fan no less - made himself a quiz question for years to come by scoring the first goal at the new stadium. He made the most of the occasion by holding up six fingers, referring to Liverpool's six Champions League titles.

Cole Simms made it 2-0 to the Young Latics a few minutes later, while Everton replied late on with a penalty from 16-year-old Ray Robert.

It's looking good for Yorkshire, with both Leeds and Sheffield United in strong positions to earn promotion back to the Premier League this season following last night's result.

Can Burnley or Sunderland close the gap in the final 13 matches, or will they have to deal with the drama of the play-offs?

Leeds United

There was some Championship action last night, and potentially a major result in the race for promotion to the Premier League.

Substitute Pascal Struijk headed a dramatic 95th-minute winner as Leeds United came from behind to beat promotion rivals Sunderland and return to the top of the Championship.

The defender had levelled with 12 minutes to go when he glanced in Joe Rothwell's wicked free-kick and then won it in added time with another header from another Rothwell cross.

Sunderland had taken the lead against the run of play when French striker Wilson Isidor smashed home in the first half.

But Leeds turned it around and are now seven points clear of third-placed Burnley with 13 games to play.
