Liverpool, Arsenal go head to head in a Premier League classic
Liverpool will lock horn with Arsene Wenger’s Gunners in an important league game on Sunday at Anfield.
Both the sides have made a jittery start to their campaigns, with the Reds having bagged just a single point out of their first two games.
As far as the North London club are concerned, they too are yet to come up with a convincing performance this season, and will be looking to reverse the reality on Sunday.
Liverpool
The men in red could have been in a much better position in the table currently, had it not been for their defensive errors against Manchester City in their previous league game.
However, the time is ripe for them to get their EPL campaign back on track.
The club’s latest acquisition, Nuri Sahin, is set to make his Anfied debut, following the completion of his season-long loan deal from Real Madrid. He is expected fill in the void created by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Leiva’s absence, who earlier suffered a thigh injury, ruling
him out of action for almost three months.
Daniel Agger, who missed out on the game against the Eastlanders due to suspension, will make his return to the squad, and is likely to replace Sebastian Coates in the starting-eleven.
Raheem Sterling will be confident of another start, following his impressive show in the previous game, while Brendan Rodgers might be interested in playing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221 at the left-back position in place of not-fully-fit Jose Enrique.
Expected Starting Line-up:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Borini-c13163, Luis Suarez.
Arsenal
Currently, Arsenal are the only team in the league who are yet to score a goal this season. But on the positive side, they are also yet to concede one.
After playing out goalless draws against Sunderland and Stoke City in their opening two games, the Gunners will be desperate to get back to scoring ways, and play down the notion of them being unable to cope with Robin Van Persie’s departure.
However, Wenger will have to deal with the absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bacary-Sagna-c7148, who will miss out the game due to leg injury. Instead, he will stick Carl Jenkinson as a replacement for the French International.
All the transfer rumours surrounding http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 could mean that the forward will not feature in the starting line-up, but is set to appear on the bench.
Vito Mannone is expected to guard the goal, as first-choice http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998 is currently experiencing fitness problems.
Expected Starting Line-up:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755.
Expected Result:
Liverpool 2 : 2 Arsenal
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. The last time they visited Anfield, they emerged as 2-1 victors. However, the game promises to be an exciting one, and the writer feels
that both the sides will end up sharing the spoils.
