In this round of the Premier League, the most noteworthy game is the battle for the top spot between Liverpool and Arsenal. According to the current situation, Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Manchester United in the last round can be regarded as slowing down the pace of picking up points, but Klopp's team is still sitting at home in this game and is expected to take the initiative again. Arsenal have performed well in previous games and will take the initiative in the title race if they can win this game.
The Liverpool team has a lot of problems, how to solve the last pass, one shot?
After the team sent off Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool's attacking group still did not find their form, and their reliance on Egypt international Mohamed Salah continued to increase. In the last round against Manchester United, Liverpool received a large number of set-pieces and shooting opportunities, but the quality of the final pass and shot was not high, resulting in a 0-0 draw with Manchester United, missing the perfect opportunity to pick up points. It will still be interesting to see how Liverpool can solve the final passing and shooting links in this game.
Arsenal also had a lot of problems, Martinelli was replaced, and the German international became a super substitute
Although Arsenal beat Brighton by two goals in the previous round, the team's overall performance still lacked enough. Martinelli was visibly tired and sluggish in his final moves, squandering a number of passes and chances to score, and Mikel Arteta could rest him for this game. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz's performances are picking up, which is good news for the current Arsenal team. Kai Havertz should at least get a place on the bench with Mikel Arteta with his goal from the previous game.
This game will be a big test for both sides. In the key battle for the championship, which side can win, which side will have the determination to win the championship, and the performance in the key battle determines the team's ceiling. If Arsenal are to regain the Premier League title, Arteta will have to win this game.
