MondoGoal: Liverpool v Arsenal Preview

Posted by

Flailing in 11th place, just a few points away from the likes of Stoke and Aston Villa, Liverpool have endured their worst start to a season in 50 years; with the visit of Arsenal coming at the worst possible time for Brendan Rodgers’ side. Unable to buy a goal, and with a terribly shaky backline; the Reds are out of the Champions League, and with just two wins in their last eight EPL fixtures.

The 3-0 defeat to Manchester United last weekend showed just how far last season’s runners up have fallen; A midweek cup win has barely quelled the critics but if Liverpool don’t beat Arsenal this weekend, there will be mutiny in the stands.

Liverpool meet an Arsenal side who are experiencing an inconsistent run of form. The North London club has won three of their last six league matches but have lost the other three. Arsenal are currently a whopping 13 points behind leaders Chelsea. However, the stats for each of the two sides over the first 16 games of the season weigh in Arsenal’s favour.

Arsenal excel further with more chances created, shots, accuracy and goals scored. Defensively, Arsenal have conceded three fewer goals than Liverpool.

Last season the sides met three times with Arsenal winning the league and FA Cup meetings at The Emirate’s Stadium and Liverpool coming out on top at Anfield 5-1.

This season Arsenal seem to be the better team on paper but this is Liverpool, at Anfield, hurting and desperate to make a point.

Who would you pick to make the standout performances for their respective teams at Anfield this weekend? And would be willing to put money on it?
