Analysis of the match between Liverpool and Arsenal
Liverpool have enjoyed a smooth start to the Premier League campaign, collecting maximum points from their opening two matches. In the previous round, they endured a tough battle away at Newcastle but still came out on top with a dramatic 3-2 victory, thanks to Ngumoha’s decisive strike in the 90+10 minute.
That result underlined the resilience of the reigning champions. On an individual note, new signing Ekitike continued to shine with a goal, while Gakpo impressed by providing two assists.
Overall, Arne Slot’s men are in fine form, winning five of their last six games. Even so, Liverpool must remain wary of Arsenal. The North London side have also won both of their opening fixtures, but with a superior goal difference compared to the Reds. More impressively, Arsenal made headlines by defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford (1-0) before ruthlessly dismantling Leeds United. Alongside Tottenham, they are one of only two clubs yet to concede a goal in the Premier League this season.
History also favors Arsenal in this clash. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last six league meetings with Liverpool (two wins, four draws). Not since the period between 2007 and 2011 have Liverpool gone such a long stretch without beating Arsenal. Facing an in-form opponent with both momentum and historical advantage, Liverpool may find it difficult to secure all three points, even with home advantage.
