It was a classic case of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, or rather two unstoppable objects colliding together. The mere fact that man city were the undefeated team at that point and it was Liverpool\u2019s first game post departure of Coutinho and add to the fact that the telecast we had in India had Peter Drury on the commentary made it even special. The fact the Liverpool will probably go to Etihad unbeaten this season and on top the league just adds to the romanticism. Hopefully it\u2019ll be another classic.\u201d 1.46pm GMT After the despairing bone-headedness of the Italian deputy PM\u2019s contribution to the racism debate (11.54), by comparison Luciano Spalletti looks like the greatest social commentator to ever live here: | #Spalletti: &#8220;The disappointment of not being able to play in front of our own fans is great. However, if it can be used to fight this battle then we gladly accept it. Different behaviour is needed and we want to enjoy these matches in a different context.&#8221; pic.twitter.com\/UfhHvQWjE3 Continue reading&#8230;<br \/>\nVia: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/live\/2018\/dec\/28\/weekend-football-countdown-arsenal-v-liverpool-solskjr-and-more-live\" target=\"_blank\">Weekend football countdown: Liverpool v Arsenal, Solskj\u00e6r and more \u2013 live!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the latest updates ahead of the Premier League weekendTen things to look out for this weekendSend your emails to Nick here | Tweet @NickMiller79 1.53pm GMT Abhinav Bhadula has a nomination for his favourite fixture of 2018: \u201cAlthough I am a liverpool fan, I think the Jan 4-3 against [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theworldwidejournal.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
