Liverpool – Arsenal : Preview & Prediction
Liverpool will have to compose without Salah-Mané for a month. The first game without his forwards went rather well, with a 4-1 win over modest Shrewsbury side in the FA Cup. Jurgen Klopp’s League Cup Reds will be a whole different game, with a strong Arsenal side this year. Dropped from the Premier League by Manchester City, Liverpool will have to aim for the cups, in addition to the Champions League, and have the chance to make a final after the double encounter.
Arsenal got off to a bad start but recovered very well, and now occupy the last Champions League qualifying place in the league. At the foot of the podium, the Arteta Gunners have just been knocked out of the League Cup by Nottingham Forest (1-0) with a slightly reshaped squad. This team only has one chance to win a trophy this season with this League Cup, and will have to come out with a high-quality double confrontation to leave Liverpool, which still has a very good squad despite the absence of its African internationals gone to the CAN.
Liverpool has a record of 12 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in the league this year.
Arsenal are fourth in the English league, 7 points behind the Reds.
Arsenal have a record of 11 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses in the league this year.
The “both teams to score” prediction has not passed in the last 3 games between these two teams. He had passed in the previous eight!
Arsenal are doing well this year despite the last completely missed game against Nottingham. The Gunners will have to recover and not miss each other before the return leg. This game should be pretty open with at least one goal for both teams, like in 5 of Liverpool’s last 6 games. Both teams score!
