Coming off an incredibly positive attacking performance against Hoffenheim at Anfield on Wednesday, Liverpool come into the end of the summer looking to take three points off Arsenal in a match which will prove indicative of future performance in the Premier League. Given past results, the tie could prove to be another notch in the memorable belt of clashes over the past decade.
Man to Watch
Roberto Firmino was instrumental in creating Emre Can’s second goal against Hoffenheim, and moving forward into Sunday, he should continue to be the main man for Liverpool. The link up play between himself, Sadio Mane and summer addition Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of scintillating, and it would be a surprise to see the trio go without a goal this afternoon.
Prediction
With a leaky back four and immense pace up top, Liverpool look set to engage in another high flying affair, of which this nears the highest.
A full-time result of Liverpool 5-3 Arsenal would be in line with defensive woes and they have not been reserved solely to the Reds this year, as Arsenal have had problems of their own.
