Jan 17 (V7N) - Liverpool aim to regain control of the Premier League title race after recent setbacks, including draws against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest and a League Cup defeat to Tottenham. Captain Virgil van Dijk urged his teammates to stay focused ahead of Saturday's crucial clash with Brentford, as second-placed Arsenal closes in on the leaders. Liverpool must return to winning ways to maintain their advantage at the top.

Tottenham Hotspur face mounting pressure as they prepare to meet Everton in a critical relegation battle. Spurs have lost four of their last five league games, leaving them dangerously close to the relegation zone. Everton, under new manager David Moyes, are also desperate for points after struggling to find goals, making Saturday’s match pivotal for both clubs.

Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is on the verge of making history, having scored in eight consecutive Premier League matches. With 16 goals in his last 16 games, Isak is closing in on Jamie Vardy’s record of scoring in 11 straight league fixtures. Newcastle, now in the top four, will look to extend their winning streak when they face Bournemouth.

This weekend’s Premier League action also includes key fixtures like Arsenal vs Aston Villa and Manchester United vs Brighton. Liverpool must steady their title charge, Tottenham and Everton fight to escape relegation fears, and Isak eyes a Premier League milestone, setting the stage for an exciting round of matches.
