One of the central matches of the EPL’s third round will be an encounter between Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool will have the field factor on their side, but one should not forget, that the team had energy-consuming against the German Hoffenheim within the Champions League qualification, while the London may have easily prepared in a weekly cycle for the upcoming match.
Liverpool have managed to break into the Champions League group tournament and this is very good. Klopp’s team deserved to play amongst the European elite. Hoffenheim also looked decent, the team never gave up, when the score in the match at Anfield became 0:3 for the Reds, they scored twice but it didn’t save the situation. In any case, it should be said, that the men from Merseyside may lack freshness in the upcoming game against the Gunners.
Arsenal play poorly against rich defense, Stoke City showed in the second round of the EPL, how should one play against Wenger’s team, but Liverpool will not play the same, as the Potters. Klopp will probably play offensively once again in such a status match, which will be only in favor for Arsenal, which will have chances against not very fresh scousers. Back in 2016-17 season Arsenal managed to achieve nine away victories.
Liverpool always play very actively at their home ground, score many goals, but concede often too. Arsenal have one of the strongest lines of attack in the league, besides, the Gunners are after a defeat against Stoke City, which is hard to be called planned, so Londoners are going to Liverpool to get points.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score
