- August 22, 2018
He could have answered: "Well, actually I am the fight,", but he's happy to fly under the radar knowing that if he shocks a packed Windsor Park tonight he'll be recognised wherever he goes. The 33 year-old has not been content to simply play the plucky underdog, but from the fight announcement went on something of a verbal assault, initially claiming everything Frampton does is "OK, but nothing great", while subsequent comments have suggested the North Belfast man is in decline.

- August 21, 2018
It felt like a game Liverpool teams of years past would have folded in whether it be blundering in defense or giving up a penalty it just felt like a very easy game to lose. The Premier League remains the only major, top-flight division in European football in which VAR will not contribute to the refereeing of matches, but despite his sense of injustice Milivojevic said: "I do not want VAR in this league".

The aggression and pace in attack certainly looks promising, if still rough around the edges, while young midfield Matteo Guendouzi has caught the eye having taken a huge step up from Ligue 2 to the Premier League .

Senegal's Mane seals Liverpool win: Salah proves to be the difference

It's obvious.
