Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace in the Premier League match with a goal from Diogo Jota in the first-half. The match, which was live streamed from Selhurst Park and attended by reporters Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle, saw the Liverpool ECHO launch their own WhatsApp community for fans to receive real-time updates and breaking news from the team. Unfortunately, Liverpool may have to play without their star goal-keeper Alisson until after the November international break due to an injury.
In what was billed as the top-of-the-table showdown, Liverpool and Manchester City did not disappoint as they played out a 1-1 draw at Anfield. City took the lead through John Stones, but a penalty from Alexis Mac Allister saw the Reds salvage a point in the second half. The result leaves Liverpool in second place, level on points with new league leaders Arsenal.

Marvel's latest offering, Echo, has debuted and is the first in the new "Marvel Spotlight" series. However, the show has received mixed reviews from critics, currently holding a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes. While praised for its main star and focus on sign language and Native culture, some critics have criticized the choppy storytelling and lack of significant new content. Echo falls behind other MCU shows and the newly-canon Defenders series in terms of critical reception.
Marvel Studios' new series Echo, a spin-off on the character Maya Lopez, stands out as a slow-cooked meal that offers a variety of flavors and textures. With a strong and rich backstory, Echo breaks away from the recent troupes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and explores a diverse and politically charged story. While the writing may be uneven at times, Echo still manages to offer a freshness and rawness that has been missing in MCU series.
Alaqua Cox, who portrays Maya Lopez in Marvel's Echo, has impressed the series' stunt coordinator by performing all her own stunt scenes. The team took into consideration her real-life amputee status and incorporated it into the action sequences, resulting in a mix of MMA and martial arts style of fighting. The series will focus on Maya's journey back to her Choctaw Nation origins in Oklahoma and her encounter with Wilson Fisk's criminal syndicate. Fans can catch all episodes of Marvel's Echo on Disney+ Hotstar in multiple languages starting January 10th and can reach out to IGN India for any news tips or story discussions.
