Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview

Arsenal vs Liverpool

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Emirates Stadium

Date: 22nd December 2017

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

The season is beginning to take shape as teams begin to play each other again for the second time.

Arsenal fans will not be happy that their team is still outside the top four at the half way point of the season and their star men Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez still have unclear futures at the Emirates.

The Gunners are currently fifth in the league table, just one point above the impressive Burnley.

This month, they have been less than impressive with just one win, two draws and a defeat in four league games.

They have netted just three goals all month.

Generally speaking, they have a solid home record especially defensively however, conceding three goals against Manchester United and Leicester City in the season’s opener means they can be breached at times.

If there is a team that knows how to score against Arsenal that team is Liverpool.

The Reds have an impressive record against the Gunners having scored 17 goals against them in their last seven meetings together and won by scoring four goals the last time they visited the Emirates.

They are currently on a three game winning run against the Gunners and have scored at least two goals in their last seven meetings against eachother.

The Reds also have a good away record this season as they have scored 16 goals and won their last four away days in the league.

The Reds are currently unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions and this should be a cause of concern for the Gunners.

With Premier League’s top scorer in Mohammed Salah in their line up, the Reds are sure to give the Gunners’ defence a torrid time.
