This season, Liverpool has had excellent results when playing at home at Anfield. Before meeting Arsenal, in the Premier League, Liverpool won 7 and drew only 1 in 8 matches played at their “holy land”.

After the match, Liverpool coach Klopp highly appreciated the professional capacity of Arsenal’s side. The German strategist said: “Arsenal is actually very strong. The good news for Liverpool fans is that we are also strong.

We conceded an early goal from a set-piece and that was very difficult. Arsenal knows how to push the pace of the game very high but we also had a good match. Liverpool could have scored more goals if they passed instead of shooting, but this was still a great match.”

For his part, Arsenal coach Arteta also spoke “loudly” about Liverpool when he commented: “Liverpool is the best team in the world in counter-attacking. We had a good chance from Gabriel Jesus, but only 5 points. Seconds later, the ball was in our penalty area. Look at Liverpool’s corner and you can see this.

When we had a good chance to score, after just 6 seconds, the team was faced with a difficult situation. Liverpool is truly an outstanding team.”

In addition, coach Arteta also gave many compliments to his students and emphasized: “Maintaining the top spot at Christmas for 2 consecutive years shows stability. We have done this for 2 consecutive years and at the same time There is also a good position in the Champions League.”

Betting analysis, odds Liverpool vs Arsenal (0:30 February 24): Inconclusive?

Comments on Liverpool vs Arsenal:

In round 17, Liverpool, despite playing a strong attack, launching 34 shots, could not beat MU. The first draw at the “holy land” of Anfield after 7 consecutive wins at home in the Premier League this season caused Liverpool (38 points) lost the top spot to Arsenal (39 points).

At this time, the race for the 2023/2024 Premier League championship is going on very attractively with fierce competition from many teams. Liverpool and Arsenal are the two strongest candidates and the direct competition between them has the meaning of a real “6-point match”.

Since the beginning of the season, Liverpool has had many dramatic victories at the last minute. In particular, their home field record is extremely stable. Coach Klopp is also currently putting all his effort so that Liverpool can win in the stressful and fierce phase of the Premier League, when the players will lose a lot of energy when having to play with high density.

As for Arsenal, despite losing 2 away matches (with a score of 0-1) against Newcastle and Aston Villa, it cannot be denied that the Gunners’ competitive spirit has clearly improved. Arsenal can stay calm when facing difficulties and solve problems in the best way. That is the necessary quality for them to have more hope of reaching the throne after an unfortunate runner-up finish last season.

Liverpool’s force in this match is significantly dented without Matip, Robertson, and Jota. In addition, Mac Allister is also likely to have to sit out. On the Arsenal side, only Tomiyasu is the most notable absence.

The competition between Liverpool and Arsenal at this time promises to be a very attractive duel. This is the way Liverpool often plays at home and it is also the position that helps Arsenal best exploit their strengths. Liverpool is very eager to win to surpass Arsenal and regain the top spot in the table, but this great battle will likely end in a draw.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

Forecast: Draw 2-2.

Arsenal confidently defeated Liverpool at Anfield

After 17 rounds of the Premier League 2023/2024, Arsenal is leading the table with 39 points. Ranked second is Liverpool with 38 points. Early this morning, Aston Villa tied with Sheffield United to have 39 points after 18 matches, equal to Arsenal’s score and 1 point ahead of Liverpool. That means that if Liverpool or Arsenal win the direct competition at 0:30 on December 24, they will have the ability to make a breakthrough when the competition at the top is very fierce.

Up to now, Liverpool is playing very well at home at Anfield. Since the beginning of the season, Liverpool has played 8 Premier League matches in their “holy land” and won 7 matches and drew 1 match. Notably, in the 0-0 draw with MU in the previous round, Liverpool was unlucky as they completely dominated the game and launched 34 shots. If you count all competitions, Liverpool is on a streak of nearly 30 consecutive unbeaten matches.

As for Arsenal, they have lost 2 matches since the beginning of the season in the Premier League and those were all away defeats. Arsenal fell 0-1 to Newcastle and Aston Villa, so the pressure on them when they came to Anfield was not small. Statistics show that, in the past 11 years, Arsenal has not known a victory as a guest at Anfield. That can be a big psychological barrier for a team that has been considered “weak” like Arsenal in recent years.

However, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta seems quite confident that his team will change their fortunes before this important match. The Spanish strategist emphasized: “We won at Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and many other football grounds where we have not won for many years. If we want to continue leading the rankings, we You need to go to very difficult stadiums and win.”

In fact, last season, Arsenal led Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield but in the end still had to leave with a draw. Learning from that match and looking forward to today’s duel, coach Arteta shared: “Both teams are in good condition and ranking. This is definitely a very tense match.

We need to strive to play better than them. We didn’t control things well last season by letting them run too freely on the field. That’s what we need to fix and do better in this meeting to finish them off and win.”
