Could Leicester break the top four?Posted by poch1991@jourrapide.com on October 2nd, 2019 In the context of a meaningful Premier League title challenge, this was the sporting equivalent of two bald men fighting over a comb. The only influence, indeed relevance, Manchester United and Arsenal will have on the title race is how they fare when they face leaders Liverpool (Arsenal have already been well beaten at Anfield) and reigning champions Manchester City. On this evidence the answer will be: Not very well. The highlights were Scott McTominay's first-half goal, struck high past Bernd Leno, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's equaliser correctly awarded by VAR after technology proved he had been comprehensively played onside by a loitering Harry Maguire. There were suggestions United's players had been distracted by the linesman's raised flag as Aubameyang completed the job but even this meant they ignored one of the first rules drummed into children when they start out - play to the whistle.
