It will be a clash of two top Premier League sides as Liverpool battle Arsenal at Anfield in Match Day 3 encounter later today.
The clash will pitched Premier League champion Liverpool against Arsenal, who are the 2024/25 season runner-up in what appears to be a supremacy battle for top spot.
A win in today’s match will move either Liverpool or Arsenal to the top of the PL table on 9 points, after both sides won their first two matches of the campaign.
The champions have been venulrable at the back, exposing the urgent need to fix their defensive weakness.
In admitting that weakness Arne Slot admittedly said, “We were lucky,” relieved to win after late goal at Newcastle.
In Sunday match-up at Anfield, Arsenal will hope to capitalise on Liverpool’s recent weak point at the back, though the champions now try the unexpected much more.
Liverpool attackers have been given greater creative licence to indulge some of their individual quality, but that freedom tend to expose the weakness at the back.
The offset is that it also makes Liverpool much more open, to go with Arne Slot’s front-loaded system.
But, the match up offers a fitting game for Eberechi Eze to make his debut for the Gunners after joining from Palace last weekend.
Mikel Arteta has sought to harden his team’s boundaries; to fill in the remaining gaps.
He surveyed last season and knows that Arsenal’s top level is good enough, and “probably better than Liverpool’s”, in the words of some insiders.
The problem was depth and alternatives, two issues very much tackled by this summer’s business.
