JOE BERNSTEIN: Arne Slot thinks Liverpool's hectic fixture list is the key to keeping his Super Six forwards all happy. Slot has an embarrassment of riches up front with Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Darwin Nunez all competing for three spots, adding to the significance of wins in the Champions League and Carabao Cup. 'The positive thing with us having so many games is that they will all play a lot of games,' said Slot ahead of Saturday's league trip to Wolves.

The Gunners are in a very strong financial position, at a time rivals are struggling to navigate the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Newcastle were forced to consider selling star man Anthony Gordon to Liverpool, and did eventually let promising young talent go in Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, in a mad dash before the June 30 PSR deadline.

But Arsenal, even after spending more than £100m to bring in four players including Sterling's loan, are primed to go again.
