The two league title favourites, Arsenal & Liverpool will finally face each other on the last day of August. Before this match up, both these teams have secured back-to-back wins in previous games. After a long time of period, football fans can’t decide which club will emerge victorious. Liverpool already was a set team by winning the EPL title last season. On the other hand, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been a core team for the last three years. Both these clubs have spent a huge amount of money in this summer transfer window. Fans around the world cannot wait any longer for this mouthwatering clash.
Liverpool Want to Do the League Double Again
Liverpool had a miserable run during the 00’s. After the historic addition of Jurgen Klopp as the new head coach from Borussia Dortmund, the Reds are now not only England’s best team but also one of the best teams across Europe. After the departure of Klopp, some expected a transition in Liverpool’s run. But Arne Slot has only made Liverpool a far better side. In his very first season, Slot has won the EPL title. But they were only able to win the league title. This time, Liverpool made some bold decisions. The Reds have spent more than £200 million. With the top signings of Florian Wirtz, Jeremy Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, the club is now a more lethal side to beat. But Liverpool club officials have one more target to achieve. Liverpool are heavily pushing for the transfer of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. Isak also dreams of playing for the Merseyside club. But the Magpies are literally forcing him to stay at the club. This has resulted in a crack in the relationship between the player and the club. Liverpool expect to sign the dynamic striker in the coming weeks. If Liverpool manage to seal the deal somehow, there should be no doubt that the club will aim to defend their crown and win the UEFA Champions League, too.
Arsenal Want to Spoil Liverpool’s Run This Season
Finally, a season has come where none can point out a single weak point in this Arsenal team. The Arsenal management has accepted every demand of Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have brought in utility players in almost every department. They finally have signed a genuine striker, Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon. The club has also completed valuable inclusions of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, and Noni Madueke. Arsenal’s backline was already strong enough. But the club has bought two talented young defenders, Mosquera and Piero Hincapie. Everyone expects Arsenal to clinch their elusive Premier League title this season. Mikel Arteta’s side cannot give away any excuses this time if they fail to do so. Having kept that in mind, Arsenal have started brilliantly in the first two matches. Although in the first match, Manchester United was the better side, Arsenal took all three points from the Old Trafford. In the next match, Viktor Gyokeres pulled off a solid performance with a brace in front of the home crowd. Arsenal were the better team against West Ham throughout the 90 minutes. But the unfortunate injury of captain Martin Odegaard will cause a bit of tension, surely.
Author’s Note: Key Aspects of the Liverpool-Arsenal Clash
There are many interesting key points to watch out for in the Arsenal & Liverpool clash. Liverpool’s best player in the last decade, Mohammed Salah causes a lot of problems whenever he faces the Gunners. The Egyptian magician is once again painting artworks in the field this season. But Arteta will rely on his Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori to stop Salah moving freely. When Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool this season from Bayer Leverkusen, he became the highest paid footballer in the English club’s history. But since his arrival, fans haven’t got to witness his brilliance in the field. The Liverpool fans are hoping that the German will target this particular match to announce his arrival. But it won’t be an easy task as Martin Zubimendi will tightly mark the attacking midfielder from playing his natural game. Hugo Ekitike and Viktor Gyokeres have big responsibilities in scoring the decisive goals for their respective teams.
