Liverpool moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after being held to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Aston Villa.
The Reds, unbeaten in the Premier League since a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield in September, were almost undone by careless defending and a lack of clinical finishing.
Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins responded to Mohamed Salah’s 29th-minute opener, before Trent Alexander-Arnold equalized 16 minutes after the break.
With their lead over second-placed Arsenal extended, Arne Slot’s side now prepares for a crucial trip to Manchester City on Sunday, marking a potentially defining week in the title race.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will host West Ham on Saturday, knowing that a win and a Liverpool loss at the Etihad would bring them within striking distance of the leaders, with a game in hand.
