    Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool

    Now it's Liverpool's turn to have a chance. Cody Gakpo runs onto a through ball, he's under pressure from William Saliba and he takes his shot early but drags it wide from 20 yards. Was close though.

    Breath-taking from Gabriel Martinelli. How has Bukayo Saka not scored?

    Trent Alexander-Arnold gambles and leaves Ibrahima Konate to deal with it, but Martinelli is lightening.

    Saka is ahead and he has got to score.

    Bukayo Saka not the man you want on the end of a cross to be honest.

    What a brilliant piece of play by Arsenal that was.

    David Raya catches Curtis Jones' cross and immedaitely hurls the ball to Gabriel Martinelli.

    The Brazilian flies down the left and crosses for Bukayo Saka, who heads wide from close range. Poor finish really.

    The home fans were loving that move (until the conclusion).

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta got the ball back into play sharpish after it went out. The Gunners want to play this game at a quick tempo and captain Martin Odegaard is already trying to whip up the crowd. Not actually sure they need it. They know what is at stake here.

    Three hundred Liverpool appearances for Trent Alexander-Arnold is absolutely incredible at such a young age.

    Have to love football nicknames. The team playing in red aren't called the Reds but the team in purple are.

    Liverpool are allowed to pass the ball round too easily at the back with no real pressure. Eventually the Reds come forward but Declan Rice stops Joe Gomez's run.

    A bit of a fuss about the corner flag, Trent Alexander-Arnold and the ball crossing the byeline but the decision is Liverpool goal-kick.

  12. 'The scoreline was not correct'published at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February

    FT: Man Utd 3-0 West Ham

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to MOTD: "No I don't think the scoreline was correct. Our performance in the main was much better. I am pleased with that but obviously not pleased with different aspects, we didn't finish chances. Overall we played better and our performance was better today."

    On Emerson miss to make it 1-1, before Man Utd scored to make it 2-0: "That tells you it just was not going to be our day. They broke away and they shoot and it takes a big deflection and that makes it 2-0.

    "We have been on a pretty good run without being at our best, with some players also away. I thought today we looked like it but goals have been a little hard to come by. Hopefully there's a wee bit of mitigating circumstances and hopefully the goals will start flowing in the coming weeks."

    On taking off goalkeeper Alphonse Areola at half-time: "It was just a case of we were making sure we were not doing the wrong thing. He is fine, we just felt there was no point risking him."

    Martin Odegaard finds Bukayo Saka in the box. He beats Virgil van Dijk but then then drags a cross into the side-netting.

    Bukayo Saka swings in a cross from the right but there's no striker there and Ibrahima Konate clears it. Arsenal really do miss a proper elite number nine.

    What a chance in the first moment of the game for Diogo Jota. He could have hit that first time.

    Almost a chance for Liverpool within 60 seconds. Arsenal don't deal with a long ball and only Diogo Jota's heavy first touch denies him a shooting opportunity.

    I think this is a match Arsenal have to win. They have to show they can put the ball in the back of the net.

  20. 'I want to score more goals'published at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February

    FT: Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest's Callum Hudson-Odoi, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was horrific (challenge which led to Philip Billing being sent off). I'm waiting for it to settle down."

    On the performance: "From our side of things we don't want to concede from corners. After half time we were pushing and pushing. It's just unfortunate that we were not able to get another goal.

    "I feel I'm getting more and more confident. Obviously I want to be getting more goals for the team. That's my aim for the rest of the season. We came to get the three points. We'll take the point and hopefully in the next league game we can get three points."
