On Sunday, October 27, Arsenal will host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in the 8th round of the Premier League. Both teams are in great form and should deliver an exciting match. Last season, Arsenal managed to take four points from Liverpool, winning 3-1 in London and drawing 1-1 in Liverpool.
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s team currently sits 3rd in the table with 17 points after 8 rounds. Arsenal have been consistent, but defensive lapses have led to goals conceded in their last four matches. Despite this, their powerful attack keeps them among the top teams in the league.
Liverpool
Under the management of Arne Slot, Liverpool leads the league with 21 points. The team is solid in both attack and defense, boasting the best goal difference in the tournament (+12). Liverpool has won their last four matches, conceding only two goals.
Player to Watch: Thomas Partey
The Ghanaian midfielder has only scored once this season, back in August, but remains a crucial starter for Arsenal. Rumors suggest that Arsenal is ready to offer Partey a new contract, with Barcelona reportedly interested in acquiring him.
