Arsenal lost the last match against Bournemouth. Arsenal lost the match 2-0. So even though today's match is Arsenal's home match, most of the gamblers like me consider Liverpool as the favourite. I also bet on Liverpool to win. However, Liverpool conceded a goal early in the match.
Bukayo Saka's goal gave Arsenal the lead in just 9 minutes. Liverpool's attack cannot be said to be very strong. Liverpool's players can't win any match by a big margin. Liverpool's overall performance is stable, which is why the Liverpool team was able to occupy the top spot in the table for a long time. Today's match against Arsenal is very important for Liverpool. If they do not win this match, Liverpool will not be able to keep the top spot in the table.
At the end of the first half, Arsenal managed to take a 2-1 lead. We don't see much good gameplay from Liverpool players today. Liverpool conceded two goals in the first half. Liverpool conceded two goals despite some defensive tactics. Van Dijk managed to score a goal though. But I am not satisfied with Liverpool's overall gameplay.
In the second half, Liverpool must play attacking strategy. If not, Liverpool will be defeated in this match. Arsenal's defense is not weak. Arsenal have a strong enough defense. Therefore, it is very difficult to break this defense if Liverpool does not play attacking strategy.
