The Agenda: Liverpool title destiny clearer as Man City beat Arsenal

The Agenda is here to react to the return of the Premier League with Manchester City beating Arsenal 3-0 and so preventing Liverpool from winning the title at Goodison Park this weekend. Had City lost tonight, the Reds would have been crowned champions with victory over rivals Everton in the 236th Merseyside derby on Sunday. But with David Luiz playing an unwitting role, that did not transpire at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola's side saw off 10-man Arsenal with goals from Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden. That was the second Premier League match of the evening. VAR controversy marred the first match back as Sheffield United were denied a goal against Aston Villa as they played out a 0-0 draw at Villa Park. Guy Clarke and Matt Addison discuss that, all of the above, and the latest on Mohamed Salah's fitness ahead of the Merseyside derby. Enjoy.
