Kostas Tsimikas deputised for the missing 29-year-old during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon, but Robertson's absence will undoubtedly come as a huge blow to the Reds given his level of consistency over recent seasons.

Why Everton played home games at Anfield before Liverpool took Merseyside stadium

Image
Liverpool fans have made Anfield one of the most formidable and awe-inspiring grounds in world Football since taking residence in the stadium all the way back in 1892. Anfield has become synonymous with silverware, title charges and famous European nights, but it could have all been so different. Prior to the club's formation in the late 1800s, Anfield was home to none other than Everton. Yes, the Toffees - the team that hate Liverpool Football Club with every fibre of their being - once resided inside the Reds' famous stadium. So, what happened? Why did Everton leave Anfield? And why do Liverpool have their departure to thank for over a century of history? When did Everton play at Anfield?

Arsenal took the lead twice in Sunday's north London derby but couldn't hold on as Spurs battled back to earn a point.

Man City fixtures: Next six games after Nottingham Forest win

Image
Manchester City ploughed through to a sixth-consecutive Premier League victory of the season, but Saturday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest was not as straightforward as the opening half-hour suggested it may have been. Rodri's 46th-minute red card, the first of his senior career, put City on the back foot for the entirety of a nervy second half against Forest. Pep Guardiola's side did not test goalkeeper Matt Turner while playing with ten men and completed just 65% of their passes, often hacking the ball clear before another Forest surge forward. City are involved in three competitions across their next three matches but Rodri could be missing for as many as three games following his red card for violent conduct. Here's what lies ahead for City without their midfield totem.
