Today's highlight of the day is Arsenal's battle with Liverpool at home. Previously, the Arsenal lost unexpectedly in the last round of the league, resulting in the gap with the top of the table Liverpool widened to 4 points. If they don't win this game, the situation for the championship will become extremely serious, and Arsenal is expected to make every effort to grab points. Liverpool, on the other hand, is in great form, winning 8 consecutive matches in all competitions, and is not afraid to go head-to-head with Arsenal; looking back at the last four league encounters between the two sides, the total number of goals scored in the first half was more than 2, while the average number of goals scored in the latter half of the match was 1.5 goals.
Arsenal is facing a powerful opponent with a strong recent performance. last month, they challenged Man City on the road and almost won, but were tied 2-2 in extra time. in the Europa League, the Arsenal even beat the Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain 2-0, which shows the team's growing strength. Therefore, the 0-2 defeat against Benfica in the last round of the league can only be regarded as an accident. In the Europa League, the team bravely defeated Sacta. In this campaign, they will do their best to win. In fact, Arsenal have won two and drawn two of their last four Premier League matches against Liverpool, and created four chances on goal early in the match, ready to launch a blitzkrieg. However, with an injury-riddled defense, with center back William Shaliba suspended and left back Karakoli injured, it is expected that the opposition will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's Dutch star Jurgen Klopp has won seven out of eight league matches, including a 2-1 win over Chelsea in the last round. In this campaign, they will also face Arsenal on the road. The team is full of confidence and is expected to take the initiative to attack. Headliners Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are in hot form after contributing 5 goals each in the league this season. Of these, Luis Diaz is the one to watch. The Colombian international has scored three hat-tricks in six league games this season, all of which have been scored in the first half. The first goal will be key in this game. In fact, Liverpool have been improving, scoring in the first half of the last four league matches, and with Arsenal's shaky defense, the Reds are expected to continue their first-half scoring momentum, with a big half-time score to look forward to.
