  • How did Tottenham fans react to the loss against Manchester City in the FA Cup?

    -Many Tottenham fans were very disappointed with the performance and felt it showed their team's lack of ability to win trophies. There was also criticism that they only managed one shot on goal compared to Manchester City's 18 shots.

  • What was the reaction to Jurgen Klopp becoming emotional during 'You'll Never Walk Alone'?

    -It was an emotional moment as it was the first home game since Klopp announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Klopp was visibly choked up as Liverpool fans sang 'You'll Never Walk Alone', reflecting on the fact he won't experience many more games like this at Anfield.

  • How did Manchester United perform in their FA Cup game against Newport County?

    -Manchester United were not very convincing, despite beating a League Two side 2-0 away from home. They went 2-0 up but then conceded a goal to make it 2-1, raising concerns about their defending and mental strength.

  • What happened in the FA Cup game between Chelsea and Aston Villa?

    -Chelsea and Aston Villa drew 0-0, meaning they will have to play a replay at Villa Park to determine who goes through to the next round of the FA Cup.

  • What is the situation with Marcus Rashford at Manchester United?

    -There are concerns over Rashford's focus and commitment. He was pictured at a nightclub before missing training through illness, and his recent performances have been poor. There are questions over his future at the club.

  • How important is Arsenal's upcoming game against Nottingham Forest?

    -It's a very important game for Arsenal's title hopes. They have struggled at Forest in recent seasons so need to overcome that hoodoo. A defeat would seriously dent their changes of competing for the Premier League title.

  • Could Arteta leave Arsenal for Barcelona in the future?

    -It's possible. Arteta is Catalan and Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in the world. However, Barcelona is currently in a messy state so it may not be the right time for Arteta to join. He also has unfinished business at Arsenal in terms of winning major trophies.

  • What Liverpool players' futures are uncertain due to Klopp leaving?

    -The futures of key players like Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are now up in the air. They may wish to take on a new challenge rather than adapt to a new managerial style.

  • How busy will the January transfer window be?

    -It looks set to be one of the quietest January windows ever. The combination of high transfer fees, Financial Fair Play rules, and winter World Cup disruptions means very few clubs are expected to do major business this month.
