Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott insists on focusing on their own matches to clinch the Premier League title, while former EastEnders star Jake Wood expresses no interest in returning to the show, as he prepares for a new role in theatre and roots for Arsenal.
Harvey Elliott of Liverpool has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to secure the Premier League title despite a recent draw with Manchester United. The match, which ended in a draw after Mohamed Salah secured a point through a penalty, left Liverpool level on points with Arsenal but trailing in goal difference. With just seven matches remaining and in what is Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign, Elliott emphasized focusing on the team’s own performances to overcome the challenging run-in.
In a different sphere, former EastEnders actor Jake Wood, known for his 15-year portrayal of Max Branning, has clarified that he has no immediate plans to return to the BBC soap opera. Currently preparing for his role in the play “London Tide” at the National Theatre, Wood highlighted his enthusiasm for theatre and his support for Arsenal, stating his preference for an Arsenal Premier League win over a return to Albert Square. Since leaving EastEnders in 2021, Wood has embarked on a diverse theatrical journey, engaging in roles that contrast with the high-drama world of soap operas. His commitment to theatre and Arsenal’s football success seems to be his current focus, as he steps away from his long-standing television role.
