Fortunately, he didn't appear to put up much of a struggle and left the field with a look of resignation rather than anything more sinister.Exactly who the activist was or whether he's part of a wider group isn't clear, but fans on social media have joked that he was simply an Arsenal supporter, disguised as a protester, trying to put a stop to the match."Arsenal fans trying to handcuff themselves to the post to stop the game, hahaha," one Liverpool fan tweeted."Was that an Arsenal fan trying to tie himself to the goal? He knows that's the only way to keep Liverpool out," wrote another.Which is more likely - Arsenal finishing in the top four or Liverpool winning the Premier League?

He’s done a Klopp ffs.”City's draw with Palace has left the door open to their title rivals to close the gap on the league leaders later this week.Liverpool can reduce the gap to City down to a single point if they win

We created a lot of chances especially in the first half,” he told Sky Sports.“Difficult side, [they] defend really well, tight and they were with the rhythm.

They look really dangerous."I just look at those five strikers that they’ve got and going into the last part of the season knowing that you can win an awful lot of football matches with those five upfront."Whereas City don’t have that same luxury in attacking areas."Liverpool's front four of Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane was boosted in January with the arrival of Luis Diaz.And after impressing since his arrival Diaz was on the scoresheet for the Reds over the weekend.Salah added to Liverpool's early strike with a second to claim the three points for Jurgen Klopp's side.Liverpool have now won their last six games, while City have only lost one of their last 19.
