The most important match of the 3rd round of the Premier League is played on Monday night at 22:00 at Anfield, where the hosts, Liverpool, receive Arsenal’s visit.
Both teams have maximum points after the first 2 rounds, but I think there are some details that should make the difference in this game.
Liverpool
Has played 4 official matches so far and has one defeat and 3 wins.
The defeat came at the Community Shield tiebreaker, right against Arsenal, but after the tiebreaker.
In the championship he won 4-3 in the first round at home in the company of Leeds, and in the second round he played away to Chelsea and won 2-0. Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip are injured and will not be part of the team. Joe Gomez is also uncertain.
Arsenal
I mentioned above that he won the Community Shield against Liverpool.
Apart from this game, he also played in the cup and 2 rounds of the Premier League.
In the championship he won 3-0 away at Fulham, then received a visit from West Ham and again managed to get the 3 points, but very tormented.
Calum Chambers, Gabriel Martinelli, Pablo Mari, Mustafi and Smith Rowe are on fire and will not travel. Tierney, Sokratis and Soares are also uncertain.
⚽Direct meetings
The 2 teams have met many times both in the Premier League and in cup games. In general, there were very spectacular matches, in the previous 5 games managing to score both teams.
⚽Liverpool vs Arsenal team probably
Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson – Robertson, van Dijk, Fabinho, Arnold – Wijnaldum, Thiago, Keita – Salah, Firmino, Mane.
Arsenal (3-4-3): Leno – Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney – Bellerin, Xhaka, Ceballos, Saka – Aubameyang, Lacazette, Willian.
Football Prediction of the Day Liverpool vs Arsenal
In my opinion, the last direct match, which I mentioned above, cannot be taken into account because Klopp did not use the best first 11 and that was fully felt. After a first round in which Liverpool looked very bad in defense, came the move from Chelsea where he played a very solid game.
Arsenal did not shine with Fulham, even if they won 3-0, nor with West Ham managing to get the 3 points, in the end. I believe that Liverpool is a more consistent and valuable team and will succeed.
