A Wish For The Luck of the Irish


Today is St Patrick’s Day. I wish everybody all the 'Luck of the Irish'! 

Liverpool haven't been this close to Manchester City in three months. 

The gap is down to one point in a Premier League title race that looks set to go down to the wire after Liverpool’s 2-0 win against Arsenal on Wednesday. That’s nine straight league wins for the Reds, which have a momentum that the Citizens can’t quite match with nine games left in the season and a head-to-head scheduled for April 10.



Diogo Jota put Liverpool ahead in the 54th minute with a near-post effort that the Gunners goalkeeper should have saved. Eight minutes later, Roberto Firmino found himself on the end of Andy Robertson‘s delivery for a deft and genius finish into the net. 

The advantage still lies with Pep Guardiola's reigning champions – but the margin is slender and this was another potentially difficult hurdle overcome by Liverpool.
