Liverpool vs Arsenal: Match preview

Liverpool have got off to a winning start to the new season, but look somewhat more frail than the side that finished comfortably top of the table to claim the Premier League trophy last season.

Arne Slot's side have blown two-goal leads against Bournemouth and Newcastle - who spent the second half playing with ten men - only to win both games late on.

As much as that speaks highly of their character and attacking ability, Arsenal are unlikely to be as generous if Liverpool's defensive issues continue.

Arsenal have been busy in the transfer market this summer to try and close last campaign's ten-point gap, with star striker Viktor Gyokeres, former Liverpool target Martin Zubimendi, Chelsea's Noni Madueke and Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze among their recruits.

That summer business gives Arteta a somewhat deeper attack than was available to him last season, despite Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz all being major doubts for this game.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that helps address Arsenal's issue of being very solid at the back but somewhat toothless up top.

They have shown both sides of their game this season, seeing out a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford on the opening weekend despite a Manchester United bombardment, then grinding Leeds United into dust with a 5-0 victory.

Liverpool vs Arsenal: Expected line-ups

FourFourTwo's prediction

Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal

A coward's guess: in truth we have absolutely no idea. Arteta tends to be conservative in big games, but that feels like the total opposite of how to exploit Liverpool's weaknesses. But then...playing very open plays into Liverpool's strengths.

It's either going to be absurdly cagey or loads of fun. We're going for the latter...especially as both league games between the two last season also finished 2-2.
