IAN HERBERT AT ANFIELD: The local planning had been meticulous of course. Flags bearing the words 'Cheats' and images of Pep Guardiola and players as convicts‚ going for a fiver from the hawkers' stalls next to The Park pub. People responding to the message‚ circulating all week‚ about mustering at the King Harry pub ahead of a 'Greeting' for the Manchester City team bus. 'Bring flags‚ pyros‚ flares.' And they did. But inside those pubs‚ there was neither triumphalism‚ nor a particular desire to wage holy hell on a visiting team.

Wirtz was one of the biggest movers in the Premier League last season but had a below-par season‚ with many giving him the benefit of the doubt considering it was his first season in the division. But he has continued to struggle this term too‚ and under a new manager‚ with the German yet to score and picking up just one assist in the six top flights matches so far this season. His performances have led to some questioning his place in the Liverpool team‚ and former Reds defender Carragher is now front and centre of that after Wirtz's showing against Manchester City on Sunday.

The Red Devils were twice booed off at Old Trafford on Saturday evening as they conceded a late equaliser against 10-man Spurs to take their winless run to four games in all competitions. But there seems to be a lack of fight from the team‚ according to Neville‚ with fans already questioning the side's desire to run after Youri Tielemans said they didn't do much work in that area of the game over pre-season. Coupled with United's poor running numbers so far this season‚ and there are serious questions around the team's play - and Neville has once again taken aim.

Bentancur had only been on the pitch for 12 minutes as a second-half substitute‚ but lost his cool in the 78th minute when he lashed out at Shaw and was given his marching orders. He appeared to put a high tackle in on the left back‚ who was left fuming and chased his opponent down before pushing him to the ground. Bentancur responded by rushing to his feet and headbutting Shaw‚ resulting in a brawl between the players.

OLIVER HOLT: Is this an apparition that we see before us? Is it real? Is Liverpool-Manchester City at Anfield a football match or a ghost-game? Will it remain in the sport's history books or will it be erased when City's guilty verdicts on 114 charges of financial chicanery meet their punishment sometime in the months ahead? There was a time when any Premier League clash between these two sides would have been regarded as the best advertisement for the English game that there could be. Not anymore. This game is being played at a wonderful stadium but it might as well be in a circus tent. It is not a match. It is a giant and terrible curiosity. The great managers who helped to define this collision between modern giants - Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola - are both gone and now this clash stands for something else: it marks the start of a period of slow torture for the top flight in this country‚ a period when we cannot know whether there is any permanence attached to results that involve City. A period when we will not know whether we should believe what we see.

Arsenal will return to Premier League action with a much-depleted squad after they were hit hardest by injuries during the dreaded international break. There are several reasons why most football fans dislike international breaks - especially when they last three weeks - but chief among them is the fact they regularly leave their club's best players injured. It is usually the league's top teams that are most affected because they have so many high-quality players at international level. And it is no different this time.

LEWIS STEELE: Welcome to the Premier League's most dangerous road. That might sound like the intro to a Channel 5 documentary‚ but it is where we are: Millhouse Woods Lane‚ a stone's throw from Hull City's training ground‚ where two players have flipped their cars and somehow walked away without a scratch - to their bodies at least. In the space of a month‚ Sorba Thomas and Lucas Gourna-Douath have ended up head over heels in the same spot in their expensive sports cars.

Former Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has insisted 'everyone knew' about Manchester City's cheating and has called for the club to be relegated from the Premier League after being found guilty of breaching financial rules. Marsch was appointed as Leeds boss in February 2022 but was sacked 12 months later as the club battled to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The 52-year-old‚ who is now in charge of Canada‚ was asked about an independent commission ruling verdict that ruled Man City had disguised payments worth £900million in a nine-year period peppered with 'sham' deals.

JACK GAUGHAN AT RUJEVICA CSTADIUM: Thomas Tuchel was back to being serenaded by the band of travelling support once Anthony Gordon had put the Nations League tie to bed with England's third before half time. Argentina might not be forgotten but the 100 fortunate enough to make this trip to western Croatia were imploring their manager to give them a wave. He didn't‚ they playfully jeered and England continued pouring on the pain for an embarrassed Slaven Bilic.

Paul Scholes has responded to his former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney after the latter said he wouldn't accept the 2012 Premier League title if Manchester City were stripped of it. Since the bombshell legal verdict that found Man City guilty of the vast majority of the 115 charges made against them by the Premier League‚ there has been much debate over how City's illustrious period from 2009-2018 should be judged. Rio Ferdinand and David De Gea have publicly called for the 2011-12 prize to be added to their medal collection but Rooney said Man United do not 'deserve' to be awarded it.
