2. Stop SAS
64% of Liverpool’s 58 Premier League goals have been scored by either Luis Suarez or Daniel Sturridge. Both the players are in excellent form, and have an outstanding understanding with each other, frequently making intelligent runs for the other to pick out. While this is to Liverpool’s advantage, over reliance on the duo may also be their undoing.
In the last encounter between the two sides, Arsenal managed to keep them quiet and thy effectively managed to negate Liverpool’s entire offensive game plan. This time out, it is unlikely to be very different due to lack of quality backup options available to the Reds. So, if Arsenal manage to keep SAS within check, it will go a long way towards securing the three points.
