Key Factors

• Arsenal’s extensive injury list, particularly in key attacking and creative positions (Saka, Ødegaard, Havertz), will severely weaken their offensive capabilities.
• Liverpool’s strong home advantage at Anfield, combined with their high-pressing, attacking philosophy under Arne Slot, will put significant pressure on Arsenal’s depleted squad.
• Liverpool’s potent attack, featuring early season top scorer Hugo Ekitike and creative talents like Florian Wirtz and Mohamed Salah, is expected to exploit Arsenal’s absences and score goals.

Recent Form (Last 6)

Tactical Analysis

Liverpool under Arne Slot are expected to deploy a high-intensity, attacking 4-3-3 formation, often transitioning to a 3-2-5 when in possession to create overloads in wide areas and central attacking zones. Their strategy will involve aggressive pressing and quick transitions to capitalize on Arsenal’s midfield and defensive vulnerabilities.

Arsenal, typically favoring a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 under Mikel Arteta, aims for possession-based play and fluid attacking movements. However, with key players like Saka, Ødegaard, and Havertz injured, their creative spark will be diminished, forcing them to rely more on defensive solidity and the finishing prowess of Viktor Gyökeres.

They are likely to adopt a more cautious approach, prioritizing defensive shape and looking for counter-attacking opportunities. The midfield battle, with Rice’s ball-winning against Liverpool’s dynamic midfielders, will be critical.
