Mikel Arteta determined to fix Arsenal's poor record at Anfield

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has described this weekend as an ‘opportunity’ to end the club’s poor recent record at Anfield when they face an inconsistent Liverpool in the Premier League . The Gunners have not won a game at Anfield in any competition since a league visit in September 2012 almost 11 years ago. Of the 12 times they have been to the red side of Merseyside since, eight have ended in Liverpool wins, with four draws. In 2020, Arteta’s Arsenal won at Old Trafford for the first time since 2006, while the recent north London derby victory was their first away at Tottenham since 2015. Arsenal have won their last three trips to Stamford Bridge, but prior to 2021 hadn’t won there since 2011. Anfield remains the next one to tick off in terms of big away wins for Arteta.

In the midst of all the celebration that surrounded LeBron James' record -breaking night on Tuesday, in which he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA 's all-time leading scorer, some attention shifted to Anthony Davis. Specifically, one video that quickly circulated on Twitter that showed Davis sitting on the bench while the rest of his teammates were standing as James made the record -breaking shot to pass Abdul-Jabbar.  Here's the video in question, which shows a dejected Davis on the bench, as LeBron hits the shot to make history. The rest of his teammates stood during the anticipation of the shot and walked onto the court, while Davis remained seated on the bench. Had this DM'ed to me.
