Fortunate Liverpool?
Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat to Brighton yesterday means they are unable to match Arsenal’s points tally from last season.
Even if Arne Slot’s men beat Crystal Palace on the final day, they will finish the campaign with the title on 86 points.
That is also the lowest amount of points the Premier League champions have finished on since Leicester’s 81 nine years ago.
Arsenal came second last year with 89 points.
Barca out Williams race?
Nico Williams was a top target for Barcelona last summer but a deal for the Athletic Bilbao winger did not materialise.
He is now high up Arsenal’s wishlist and Barca have ruled themselves out going back in for the player.
Club president Joan Laporta said: “We valued Nico as potential signing last summer with Dani Olmo, but right now I think the club is valuing other players.”

Jorginho is leaving Arsenal at the end of the season and will make his debut for Flamengo at the Club World Cup.
The 33-year-old midfielder’s deal at the Emirates is expiring and he has agreed to join the Brazilian side.
Flamengo are in a group with Jorginho’s former side Chelsea.
