Why English Premier League Games Are Very Difficult To Predict

3y ago

This will be the second meeting between these sides in the space of two days, having locked horns in a Premier League game on Monday night. A great spectacle for on-lookers, there were lots of goal-mouth action in Merseyside.

Always favorites for the win, Liverpool lived up to the bill, firing three goals past Arsenal to register an important 3-1 victory. With Arsenal coming around town again, expect a better performance from the Gunners as they seek to regain bragging rights.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Team News

Clearly the best side in England, Liverpool are already early favorites to defend the Premier League title this season. They have begun the new campaign in spectacular fashion, winning each of their first three fixtures.

Interestingly, two of these games have come against fellow title-challengers – Chelsea and Arsenal. After throwing the Blues under the bus very comfortably, Klopp’s men went on to secure a commanding 3-1 victory over the Gunners on the last matchday.

Watching this Liverpool side play, you cannot help but be overwhelmed in awe. The Reds always give their all on the pitch, showing no signs of letting up. They play with a high press that opposition sides struggle to cope with.

Sometimes, you wonder whether these players are working on highly-charged Lithium ion batteries – they just never get tired! Taking on Arsenal on Monday night, Liverpool showed their ultimate superiority over the opposition.

With Mane, Robertson and Jota on the scoresheet, the Reds comfortably nicked home maximum points. In his post-match conference, Klopp was at a loss for words, revealing that he was blown away with his side’s magnificent display.

It has been a while since Liverpool last laid their hands on the Carabao Cup and the Scousers will surely fancy their chances of bringing the trophy home this term. Arsenal are the ones standing in their way for a place in the fifth round of the competition.

Arsenal have begun their season brilliantly, and have not put a foot wrong in their bid to challenge for the PL title. Defeating Liverpool in the FA Community Shield in August, the Gunners clinched their first trophy of the new season.

However, they couldn’t get the better of Klopp’s men when they clashed last time out. Perhaps, the Anfield-factor played a huge part in their defeat as Liverpool proved to be too strong to handle on home turf.

Having already lost to the Reds few days ago, Arsenal will be determined to grab the victory in this fixture, to get back at Liverpool. Also, Arteta will hope he can hand the club supporters some bragging rights over the noisy Scousers.
