Arsenal needs to work on their performance because their loosing of points is get very serious if which they continue they may not even end to be among the first top four of the league. After the match Arsenal managed to defeat Manchester city they have been finding is difficult to win other big teams in premier league. Arsenal players are playing very well as a team but they are having problems when it comes to making of goals for sometime now. Arsenal next game is against Burnley a team at the bottom of the league, I hope this shouldn't be too difficult for them, this must be a game they need to gain a full point from.

Arsenal might be losing some point and behind is worrying for the fans but it's not as if they have loss much. The last match they loss as to Newcastle which was understandable even when that goal was supposed to rule out but the Ref count it which Arteta has been piss about. They are still better by performance but when you compare them to others like Tottenham and Manchester City, they still dominate the league, not given up anytime soon but if Arsenal should step up, they can catch up especially how Liverpool comes from no where only to stay at third place.
If Liverpool has even put more effort and won Luton Town, they will by now be sitting at the top of the Tottenham because they will share the same points but Liverpool having more goal difference will be an advantage. Nevertheless, nothing bad in how they came third, it's now left for Klopp to be able to maintain that third place to be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Luton Town stylishly has avoided Relegation zone and left with Burnley and Sheff United that left Championship together, I hope to see them leave and show how the performance they did display in the Championship League.

Arsenal is still fine, but this loss does of course have some drawbacks as a draw would have been much better as it would have kept the distance between Arsenal and Newcastle. Now Newcastle is in the middle of the competition for the top ranks again and that raises pressure for all of the teams at the top. But until mid of December Arsenal will have a few games in the Premier League that won't be as hard as the one against Newcastle.
For Liverpool this draw was a disappointment I think. Since Aston Villa and Arsenal lost their games, Liverpool had a tempting chance to create some distance. Still not much, but some distance that could also snowball later on when the teams behind fail once more and Liverpool has a streak, this can quickly grow to 6 points, which is quite comfortable. But they missed that chance.

Newcastle started the season very badly. Their performance was erratic. Many people thought Newcastle would not even finish in the top 6 of the table this season. But Newcastle coach Eddie Howe has managed to stabilize his squad. Now Newcastle's performance is quite stable and consistent. I was not surprised at all by Newcastle's win against Arsenal. Newcastle's performance was not weak, but Newcastle were very tactical.

No one would have imagined that the Luton would share points with Liverpool. Because this team was in the relegation zone and their performance was very poor in the previous matches. But Luton's performance against Liverpool was really good. And I would say they deserve 1 point from this match. Liverpool failed to win this match due to their tactical weakness.
