'Grinding Gunners' and gutsy Klopp

At the business end of the league, Arsenal ground out another hard fought three points, this time up at Wolves. Dismissing the Gunners as ‘bottlers’ after losing to Aston Villa last week was extremely unfair.

This is the Premier League and if you have a dip, even an understandable one caused by two ultimately heartbreaking Champions League games against the mighty Bayern Munich, then a team like Villa are always capable of capitalising.

The grinding Gunners were back, however, and Liverpool did the same thing in a difficult looking game at Fulham. It would appear their demise has been exaggerated too.

For all the talk of resolve of the two title pretenders, it was Jurgen Klopp who impressed me most this time.

It is hard to leave out regular starters such as Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister and Mo Salah in a must-win game, but he did it.

It was a huge call that few would have had the guts to make, but it turned out to be the right one.

Well done, Jurgen. Your time may be fast running out at Liverpool, but you are still at the top of your game.
