THE MORNING AFTER
Kai Havertz's 16th-minute tap-in from Declan Rice's low cross gave Arsenal their first Premier League win at Anfield since 2012 and sent them three points clear at the top. Liverpool had 17 attempts and not one on target.
At the other end, Manchester United's 2-0 defeat at Chelsea made it nine games without a win in all competitions, their longest run since 1988. They are above the bottom three only on goal difference. Lisandro Martinez was sent off and Cole Palmer scored the penalty.
Michael Carrick is expected to be in charge for Tuesday's Champions League game against Roma. Fabrizio Romano said this morning that United intend to "trust" him for the games before the international break.

Opinion · page 2
Arsenal didn't need to be pretty at Anfield, they needed to be stubborn, and they were. After their Carabao Cup humbling by Fleetwood it was exactly the right answer, and a side that can win like that in October will be very hard to shift.
Middlesbrough are the story of the Championship. Will Lankshear has fifteen goals and it's still October.
PREMIER LEAGUE, 8PM, ST JAMES' PARK
Four days after Everton won 3-1 in the Carabao Cup, the sides meet again in the league. Everton trail Newcastle by a point after eight games, and they have won on each of their last two visits to St James' Park.
Team news: Newcastle are without Tino Livramento (knee) and Ewen Jaouen (thigh). Will Osula twisted his ankle on Thursday and is a doubt, as are Lewis Miley and Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Harvey Barnes is due to make his 100th Premier League appearance for the club. Everton expect Jarrad Branthwaite to be through concussion protocols. Jack Grealish, left out on Thursday for a breach of club discipline, may or may not return.
Ilias Bronkhorst's looping throw-in was only half-cleared and Cameron Humphreys lobbed it back into the box. When Aden Baldwin's second clearance bounced up, Low swung himself into an overhead kick and hooked it into the top corner. It was his first goal of the season.
Also on the shortlist: Enciso's curler from 22 yards at Hull, Lankshear's 20-yarder into the top corner against Charlton, and Aimson's late strike for Salford against Exeter.
José Sá (Wolves): nine saves in a 3-0 win over Cardiff.
Callum Brittain (Middlesbrough); Rarmani Edmonds-Green (Orient); Joe Low (Huddersfield); Ryan Manning (Southampton).
MAN UTD
The home end at Stamford Bridge sang "you're getting sacked in the morning" at Michael Carrick. Asked whether he expected to stay in charge, he said only: "Yeah." The Athletic reports that United's hierarchy privately agreed to wait until the November international break before deciding his future. That leaves Roma on Tuesday and Aston Villa on 8 November.
"We didn't really get going second half. We could've, should've been up really first half," said Carrick.
WEST HAM
West Ham lost 3-1 at home to West Brom, and both ends sang "You're getting sacked in the morning." It is four home games without a win in all competitions, three of them defeats.
"This is the reality. You can only change this if we win games. We dropped points against Burnley, lost to Charlton, Southampton and West Brom. The only solution is to improve," said Nuno Espirito Santo.
CRYSTAL PALACE
Ten-man Palace lost 2-0 at Tottenham and stay in the bottom three, with two league wins in nine. "You can trust in me, I will never give up. Our situation is bad and we have to take things in our hand," said Pierre Sage, after Hoffenheim and Liverpool next.
Leeds (Daniel Farke) are five league games without a win after losing 2-0 at Bournemouth. Farke on James Trafford's mistake: "has all my trust and all my love".
