Saka has been enjoying some rare time away from the football pitch at London Fashion Week in Victoria Park. The Arsenal star was been hanging out with rapper Central Cee and actor Barry Keoghan, who has shot to fame with roles in 'The Banshees of Inisherin' and 'Saltburn'. Saka swapped his usual red and white Arsenal shirt for a chunky sheepskin coat to deal with the London chill.

Saka wasn't the only footballer to be spotted at the event. Team-mate Martin Odegaard was also in attendance along with Tottenham's Hueng-min Son, Dele Alli, Ben Chilwell and former Real Madrid ace Gareth Bale. The players mixed with a host of celebrities including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actor Olivia Coleman and rap star Dizzee Rascal.

DID YOU KNOW?

Saka is a brand ambassador for Burberry but told GQ several of his team-mates would also be keen on the job. He said: "There are a lot of fashionable players. I don't want to say too many and end up missing people out. At Arsenal, Reiss Nelson for sure, and Julien Timber. Me and Martin are coming tonight, but there are a lot more players that have an interest and good style."

Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to some news that could have an effect on the title race, as Marko Arnautovic left West Ham’s defeat at Wolves on crutches.

Newcastle did Liverpool a huge favour on Tuesday evening, but that wasn’t the only advantage they gained in the title race on the night.

West Ham will host the Reds on Monday night, and it looks fairly certain they will be without talisman Arnautovic.

The Austrian international, who recently signed a new contract amidst talks of a move away from East London, has scored seven times in the Premier League this season, per Whoscored.

He left Molineux in crutches on Tuesday though, as confirmed by injury expert Ben Dinnery.

Football.London’s Sam Inkersole has since said the injury “isn’t as bad as initially feared” but popular insider ExWHUemployee does expect the Austrian to miss one to two weeks.

The 29 year-old joins a long list of key first team players nursing injuries, such as Fabian Balbuena, Manuel Lanzini, Jack Wilshere, Carlos Sanchez and Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Irons have conceded seven goals across their last two games in all competitions, and the Twitter reactions down below are expecting a trouncing on Monday…

Alexis Mac Allister has revealed that he nearly fell asleep during a team meeting ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester City.

Mac Allister talks of jet lagWord Cup winner decries scheduleDraw opens up title raceGetty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?

The Reds dragged themselves back into Saturday's encounter with a determined display to take a draw which opens up the Premier League title race. Liverpool trailed to Erling Haaland's first-half strike but held on despite an uncharacteristically nervous performance from goalkeeper Alisson to level late on with Trent Alexander-Arnold's arrowed strike. After the game, Mac Allister lifted the lid on some of the exhaustion felt among the squad, many of whom returned late in the week after a gruelling return trip to South America.

"Honestly, it is so hard to play like this," Mac Allister told LFC TV after the match. "Yesterday we were in a meeting talking about Man City and the way we wanted to play, and I couldn't keep my eyes open.

"It's very tough. Jet lag, long trip, but it is what it is. We like playing football, it's what we want, to win, and that's why we did our best. It was a very tough game for us. It's what we expected, they are a very good team, but I think it was a fair result. They had most of the possession but they didn't have many chances."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mac Allister played all 90 minutes of Argentina's historic win over Brazil at the Maracana on Tuesday night. Transatlantic trips for qualifying double-headers for the Premier League's South American stars is nothing new. But this season has proved particularly gruelling for the Liverpool contingent who have been selected to play in the Saturday lunchtime television slot after all three international breaks, much to the dismay of Klopp. With two wins and a creditable draw at the Etihad to show for those fixtures, Liverpool will feel relieved, but the situation is far from ideal in an increasingly-packed football calendar.

GettyWHAT NEXT FOR ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER AND LIVERPOOL?

There is some respite as the Reds now have five days preparation and no travel to endure before they take on LASK in the Europa League on Thursday night. While Liverpool are already assured of a place in the knockout rounds, Klopp will be keen to top the group – thus avoiding the play-off round and another two games on the schedule.

GOAL picks out the young stars set to shine in Australia and New Zealand, some already household names but others ready for a break-out tournament

World Cup tournaments are exciting for so many reasons. There are always shock upsets, surprise packages and twists and turns along the way as we watch on to see who will be crowned champions of the world. But something else that makes these events so great is that there are always promising young players who rise to the occasion and announce themselves on the biggest stage of all.

In Australia and New Zealand this month, there will be a lot of young players on show who have already established themselves in the women's game, be it in one of the top leagues in the world, at another major tournament, or in the Champions League.

But there are plenty of names unknown to the masses who are ready to have a break-out campaign, too, and ensure they are talked about around the world for the next few weeks and beyond.

Aged 21 and under, GOAL picks out the young players ready to make a real impact at the 2023 Women's World Cup…

GettyJody Brown (Jamaica)

Jamaica's star name might be Bunny Shaw but in Jody Brown the Reggae Girlz have another wonderfully talented forward – and one still just 21 years old, too.

Brown made her senior debut at the age of 16 and, a few months later, was the youngest player to compete at the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship – a tournament at which she scored six goals in six games to help her country qualify for a first-ever Women's World Cup.

In the time since, she's gotten better and better, asserting herself as a key part of the starting XI after being an impact sub in France four years ago. Brown will have the chance to impress in Australia and New Zealand, then, and may well have a few professional opportunities come her way in the aftermath, as she currently plays for the Seminoles at Florida State University.

If it wasn't for Esmee Brugts, the Netherlands might not even be at this Women's World Cup.

With the scores goalless as stoppage time began in the Oranje's clash with Iceland in September, it was the latter set to qualify automatically for the tournament while the 2019 runners-up were in for a trip to New Zealand for the play-offs.

But then, in the third minute of stoppage time, their talented young forward whipped in a dangerous cross that evaded everyone, nestled in the bottom corner and saw the two nations switch destinies.

Since that moment, Brugts' role has changed. Previously a regular option off the bench, she's now starting at left wing-back in the Netherlands' new system. It's not where she is best but the 19-year-old is learning plenty and will get the chance to showcase her qualities in New Zealand.

GettyLinda Caicedo (Colombia)

One of the breakout stars of the past 12 months, Linda Caicedo has long been highly-rated. After all, she was only 14 years old when she won the Colombian league's Golden Boot and inspired America de Cali to a first-ever title.

But the young forward hit new heights in 2022, a year in which Colombia hosted Copa America. It was Caicedo who was their stand-out performer, named the Player of the Tournament before picking up the Most Valuable Player award in the final despite her team finishing as runners-up.

In the months that followed, as her 18th birthday approached, rumours around Caicedo's future were incessant – particularly with her shining at both the U20 and U17 World Cup tournaments, leading Colombia to the final of the latter.

In the end, she signed for Real Madrid, one of the biggest clubs in the world, at just 18 and has quickly made an impact. For her country, she is talismanic and will be central to any success at her first senior World Cup.

GettyKyra Cooney-Cross (Australia)

Despite having asserted herself as a member of Australia's starting XI, it still feels like Kyra Cooney-Cross hasn't had her huge break-out moment when it comes to being widely talked about outside of her homeland.

An incredibly tidy midfielder who appears to be almost tireless, the 21-year-old has impressed in Sweden with Hammarby this calendar year with her excellent all-round game, being decisive in the final third while still stepping up on the other side of the ball.

Cooney-Cross experienced the 2019 Women's World Cup as a training player and, four years on, she's set to be key for the Matildas in their home tournament.

Everton could be at risk of a further points deduction if they are found to have broken financial rules during the 2022/23 season.

2022/23 accounts being checkedCould face additional points deductionClub docked 10 points earlier this monthWHAT HAPPENED?

According to , their accounts for the 2022/23 season are currently in the process of being submitted. If additional financial breaches are found to have occurred, another points deduction could be on the cards this season, despite Everton being docked 10 points already earlier this month. This is due to new regulations stating that any breach of rules should be handled before the end of the current season, rather than being dealt with at a time when the club's standing in the table was confirmed.

It's thought that the new regulations regarding punishment only apply to single cases such as the one Everton are facing, whereas matters will be handled differently for clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea, who both face much more complex, deeper investigations for alleged rule breaches.

The contrast in punishment between Everton and their wealthier Premier League rivals has caused outrage amongst fans on the blue side of Merseyside, who protested heavily before their match with Manchester United at the weekend.

DID YOU KNOW?

Everton's points deduction comes as a result of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, as opposed to being down to Financial Fair Play (which is a UEFA initiative). Effectively, the club has been punished for the financial losses they made over a three-year period. Under Premier League regulations, clubs can only lose a maximum of £105m over three years, and as Everton lost £19.5m more than this, the repercussions have been serious.

The points deduction has plunged Sean Dyche's side into a relegation battle, despite a promising start to the season on the pitch. However, Everton's boss is the kind of figure you want at the helm when the odds are stacked against you. Next up in the Premier League, his side faces a tricky trip to Nottingham Forest, where they will be hoping to pick up some points and get the club back on a positive path.

The Red Dragons have been on a meteoric rise since Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their stunning takeover of the club in February 2021. Three memorable years have been enjoyed at SToK Racecourse, and nobody connected with Welsh outfit is ready to jump off an emotional roller coaster.

Phil Parkinson has experienced his first wobble as Wrexham boss this season, with a four-match losing run recently taken in, but a 2-1 win over Sutton has got the Red Dragons back on track and taking aim at a top-three finish once more. Boyle has said in : “It is really tight up there. We have got to focus on what we can do. Everyone at the club knows from the last couple of years what it takes to achieve something; it takes momentum and you have to build a run so that is what we have got to focus on. We are well placed and if we can do that then we won’t be in a bad position at the end. One win doesn’t mean anything but it is nice to stop a little bit of a rot.”

Boyle, who moved to North Wales from Huddersfield last summer, took his goal tally for the season to four against Sutton and added on chipping in with vital efforts despite operating at centre-half: “It was a nice moment and important for the team. Hopefully I can get a couple more to help the lads get over the line. But I don’t really care who scores as long as the ball goes in their net more times than it does ours.”

The England international has made a stunning impact in Spain since completing a €103 million (£89m/$109m) transfer from Borussia Dortmund during the summer transfer window. The 20-year-old prodigy is already a fan favourite at Santiago Bernabeu, with 10 goals recorded through as many appearances for the Blancos.

Bellingham appears to have every attribute required to be a global superstar, but he has told the FA’s ‘If I could…’ series on the England team’s of the quality that he would like to acquire from a fellow professional: “I would love to be naturally both-footed. I really like seeing players like Ousmane Dembele and other players who can take corners from both sides and things like that.”

Bellingham added on the one part of an international colleague’s game that he would like to add to his own game: “Kyle Walker’s speed. I think the game would be a lot easier and a lot more fun if you were that quick, being able to drive past people like that.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Away from football, Bellingham has also discussed who he would like to play him in a film of his life. The Birmingham native said: “Denzel Washington, if he was a bit younger, 100 per cent.” He went on to say when asked which person he would like to spend a day in the life of: “Someone like LeBron James. Someone who is the absolute best at something.”

Palmer revealed shrug celebration against Man CityWas not nervous before facing former clubEarned maiden national team call-upWHAT HAPPENED?

The Chelsea star revealed how he came up with the shrug celebration after scoring the last-gasp equaliser against Manchester City last weekend. The 21-year-old further suggested that he did not really think about his former club – where he spent a total of 15 years while making his way through the youth ranks – after netting the all-important goal.

It was Palmer's fourth top-flight goal for the Blues since joining them on the transfer deadline day, and incidentally, all of those have been from penalties.

Right after the City clash, the striker got his maiden senior national team call-up as Gareth Southgate included him in the Three Lions squad for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifying game.

WHAT DID COLE PALMER SAY?

Speaking to reporters, the Chelsea forward said: "I spent 15 years at the club. I can’t really go and celebrate how I would usually celebrate if I have scored a 95th minute equaliser because it would have been disrespectful. So I just decided to do a shrug. I don’t know why."

He added: "When I saw the ref give it I thought: 'It’s my time'. I spoke to Raz [Raheem Sterling] and he said: ‘What’s happening?’ and I was like: 'I wanna take it'. He was like 'Fine' and when I put the ball down I just picked a spot and tried to put it there. I felt I was waiting for a while to take it. So I did think about my old club and stuff but after that not really. It was a crazy game. I did feel a bit nervous before and it felt a bit weird to see everyone from my own club. I had been there for 15 years. But when the game started it felt normal and it was a good game."

The MLS playoffs are set, and GOAL has you covered with each team who has qualified, their first round match and their seeding.

A 94th minute penalty kick, heartbreak at the death, players watching other matches dying seconds on a tablet together and controversial coaching decisions: MLS Decision Day had it all.

The New York Red Bulls clinched a playoff berth in the dying minutes of their Eastern Conference match against Nashville SC, sending Montreal players into disarray as they watched on from a small screen on their bench in Ohio after falling to the Columbus Crew.

Minnesota United benched their leading goalscorer in all competitions, Bongokuhle Hlongwane, and they lacked an attacking threat all night as they fell to Sporting Kansas City on a night where they were in must-win territory.

Meanwhile, 2022 World Cup winner Thiago Almada was controversially sent off with two yellow card offenses for Atlanta United and is set to miss their opening-round playoff match.

All this, and more, as five teams clinched a playoff spot on Saturday, with three being sent home in heartbreaking fashion.

The 2023 MLS playoffs have arrived, along with a new format, and GOAL has you covered when it comes to figuring out who ended up where and how they got there.

New York Red BullsEastern Conference Wildcard: No. 8 New York Red Bulls – No. 9 Charlotte FC

In dramatic fashion, the Red Bulls clinched a playoff spot in the dying minutes of their Decision Day match against Nashville SC, with defender John Tolkin scoring from the penalty spot in the 94th minute of the match. The USMNT defender had ice in his veins, stepped up and found the back of the net. They'll host a Charlotte side, who just downed Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on their own turf, to secure a playoff spot themselves.

In this single-elimination match, the winner will advance to the Round One Best-of-three series against No. 1 overall FC Cincinnati.

The 2023 MLS Supporters' Shield winners will have home-field-advantage all throughout the playoffs for as long as they are alive. MVP frontrunner Luciano Acosta and USMNT striker Brandon Vazquez helped lead Pat Noonan's side to their first-ever trophy as an organization, and now, they're rewarded with the No. 1 overall seed.

Eastern Conference: No. 2 Orlando City – No. 7 Nashville SC

Orlando City had a dominant campaign, and it came on the back of breakout Rookie of the Year candidate Duncan MgGuire. The 22-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2023 MLS Superdraft and ended the regular season with 11 goals and three assists. On top of McGuire's performances, Orlando midfielder Facundo Torres – who is attracting attention from Europe – led them in scoring with 14 goals while playing 30 matches. They're a team to watch this postseason.

Nashville SC, meanwhile, clinched a playoff spot after a fantastic Leagues Cup campaign that saw them fall just short to Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in penalty kicks. Reigning league MVP Hany Mukhtar will look to help his side pull off the upset in round one of the playoffs after an underwhelming end to their regular season, headlined by a 1-0 defeat to the New York Red Bulls on the final day of the season.

The Crew and their talisman Cucho Henandez, who tallied 16 goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, earn the number three overall seed and hosting rights in the first round. Mid-summer additions Julian Gressel and Diego Rossi were key to their run, and now they're rewarded for their work.

Atlanta, meanwhile, come into the playoffs in an interesting predicament. In the final game of the regular season, their 2023 MLS MVP candidate and 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina, Thiago Almada, was sent off for two yellow card offenses. They'll be without their young star for the first game of the best-of-three series against the Crew, and it could prove costly.
