3 Things Liverpool Need To Do To Win Against Arsenal

2. Control Arsenal’s midfield runs

Arsenal

Arsenal, unlike Liverpool, have been relying on their midfielders to get the goals. Of the 47 goals that they have scored, their strikers have contributed only 15 (Giroud 10, Podolski 3, Bendtner 2), while the midfielders have all chipped in with a combined total of 29 goals. Most of the goals have come from the late runs that Arsenal’s midfielders make into the box.

Liverpool’s midfielders will have to be extra careful all game in order to ensure that no Arsenal midfielder is allowed a free run into the box. They will have first-hand experience of this from their earlier encounter when midfielders Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey netted one goal each to sink the Reds. Liverpool managed to put in a great performance of shielding their back four in the game against Everton, and they will need a repeat of that performance if they are to take anything away from this game.
