The first encounter between ‘big six’ Premier League teams takes place this weekend, as Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield.
It promises to put the Reds’ shaky-looking defence to the test, with their back-line conceding 14 shots on goal against Southampton – more than they did in any game for the whole of last season.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will need significant improvement if we are to keep the Gunner’s attack at bay, but equally, the hosts’ forward line has the potential to wreak havoc.
This hasn’t been a happy ground for Arsenal recently.
They have been beaten convincingly in their last three appearances at Anfield conceding, 12 goals and scoring just two.
They will fancy their chances of a first victory at Anfield since 2012, however, hoping to catch the Reds out defensively and retain their 100 percent record.
With the high defensive line that Liverpool seem to be deploying and the slow first half starts from Klopp’s men this season, Unai Emery will look to capitalise.
Hopefully, Virgil can martial the defence and prevent the Arsenal fans from returning home happy.
Here’s a look at who the Gunners’ key men will be when they meet Liverpool on Saturday evening.
