Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview and Prediction
It is fair to say Liverpool’s new signing, Hugo Ekitike, has been one of the best players for them in the first two matches. He has scored two goals and provided one assist. Liverpool has so far played two matches and won both of them. Defence surely is one of their concerns as they have conceded four goals in two matches. At the same time, they are also the team to score the most goals in the first two matches, seven.
Arsenal, with the transfer they have made, surely are the favourites to win the league, but it is too early to say so. After a not-so-good start for Vitor Gyokeres against Manchester United, he scored two goals against Leeds United. This will boost his confidence going to Anfield. With the transfer of Eze complete, we can see him get a few minutes in the game, or even start. The 15-year-old, Max Dowman, had a great start to his senior career and impressed a lot.
Surely, it is hard to predict the winner of this game as both teams are very strong and did their transfer business very smartly. They are the two favourites to win the Premier League this season. As Arsenal will miss a few important players, plus the match is at Anfield, Liverpool surely has a slight advantage. We are predicting that we will get a winner in this match, and it will be Arsenal.
Scorline Prediction: Liverpool 2-3 Arsenal
