Liverpool lost Lucas for the season with an ACL injury and its effort to replace its midfield lynchpin will be a story worth following from now through May. Also, MLS hotshot Juan Agudelo is training with the club during his offseason.
Liverpool starts the week in seventh place, but can catch the fifth-placed Gunners and can set a club record for road wins (seven) with a victory over Fulham. Each of England's top teams won their league games this weekend, with both Manchester clubs as well as Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal taking maximum points.
Argentina and Brazil crowned new champions over the weekend — Boca Juniors and Corinthians respectively — and Major League Soccer and the New England Revolution continue with their own hot-stove action.
