Reds Benched, Ready to Rumble in the Derby…
Liverpool fans might be scratching their heads this weekend, wondering why their beloved team isn’t gracing the Premier League pitch. Fear not, the Reds weren’t abducted by aliens or stuck in a time loop – they’re simply having a chill timeout thanks to the FA Cup shenanigans. You remember, the time Plymouth Argyle decided to play giant slayer, leaving Arne Slot and his merry men licking their wounds with a premature exit.
While Liverpool fans may miss their weekly dose of football drama, Arne Slot and his squad are secretly savoring this bonus spa day on the training grounds. With nine games left and a cozy 12-point cushion, Liverpool’s title odds look rosier than a garden gnome after a summer shower. Just don’t mention the 2-2 February derby draw – Slot’s memory of the fiery finale is still fresh, complete with a side of touchline ban. High five for eight minutes of extra time!
With Arsenal capable of scoring a maximum of 85 points, Liverpool just needs to glide through the upcoming matches, picking up a few wins like collecting marshmallows with a butterfly net. As the race for the title closes in, could this be the season Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, or Jarell Quansah step into the spotlight? Grab your popcorn, folks – the Reds are on the brink of bringing back the Premier League trophy while keeping us all guessing with their final act.
