When Liverpool faltered earlier this year, Arsenal picked up steam. They went on a run that led to them grabbing first place in the Premier League, a spot they have not relinquished over the past couple of months. The Gunners are riding a five-match win streak in league play, having won seven matches overall dating back to last month.

In a late flashpoint, Gabriel Martinelli shoved Conor Bradley off the pitch despite Bradley seeming to be seriously injured. The result leaves Arsenal six points clear atop the table with Liverpool fourth, eight points off third. Up next in the FA Cup, Liverpool will host Barnsley on Monday.

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli apologized to Conor Bradley after bundling the injured Liverpool defender off the field in the final seconds of the teams' 0-0 draw in the Premier League on Thursday.

Liverpool has certainly had a roller coaster season thus far. The team had one of the hottest starts in the EPL, but a terrible skid led them to stumble down the table. However, the Reds, despite the Mohamed Salah debacle, have shown the championship pedigree as of late, slowly climbing back up the standings.

Liverpool survive a Dominik Szoboszlai-inflicted scare to triumph 4-1 over Barnsley and reach the fourth round of the FA Cup at Anfield.
