The test for
both the side’s increases its reach as The Gunners host Liverpool on Monday
Night but only One away win for The Reds in Fifteen Years against Arsenal,this
makes The hosts favourites coming into the fixture.Arsene Wenger side looked
dangerous as they are against The Eagles last Matchday, with Alexis Sanchez
back into the ranks can prove nightmare for Mignolet & co.
Arsenal fans are convinced that the club are one world class striker
away from a title charge, whilst Petr Cech made a
rather inauspicious start to his time at the Emirates, and has
found things tougher going behind a backline that offers him far less
protection than he was afforded at Chelsea. There's no doubt that Arsenal will have
a strong year, but has this test come too soon?
On the other side,Rodger’s side are on a slow start to
this season after clinching close points.None of their wins have been particularly
easy with the last one coming luckly with unrecorded offside of Benteke goal.
TEAM NEWS
Arsenal have no new injury concern with Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck on verge of returning to full-training.With Thomas Rosicky serving the sidelines for a long term with a knee surgery.
Liverpool will assess the fitness
of captain Jordan Henderson ahead of Monday's Barclays Premier League trip to
Arsenal.The midfielder was withdrawn early in the second half of last Monday's
defeat of Bournemouth with manager Brendan Rodgers later revealing he had been
taking pain-killers for a foot injury sustained in training.The return of
midfielder Joe Allen (hamstring) remains uncertain while striker Daniel
Sturridge continues to recover from hip surgery and defender Jon Flanagan
(knee) is out until December.
MATCH STATS
MATCH STATS
Olivier Giroud’s next Premier League appearance will be his 100th. He’s scored 42 goals in 99 PL apps for Arsenal – only Thierry Henry (59), Ian Wright (56) and Emmanuel Adebayor (44) scored more in their first 100 PL apps for the club.
Martin Skrtel has scored three goals in his last two Premier League games against Arsenal – only against Man City has he scored as many PL goals (3).
Liverpool v Arsenal has seen more hat-tricks than any other fixture in Premier League history (5).
PLAYERS TO LOOK OUT FOR :
Mesut Ozil(Arsenal)
Stoke City and Bournemouth lacked a efficient number 10,things are different here as Ozil will provide a complete different test.The magical touches of Ozil are enough to get goals and decide matches.Ozil has the capability of 'one touches' and 'controlling the speed of Game' prove enough to decide the fixture.
Roberto Firmino(Liverpool)
The Brazilian Recruit Roberto Firmino who signed from The
Reds this summer from Hoffenheim is hughly talented and has certain abilities
to decide the games on his own.Firmino
is both a creator and a goalscorer, and will probably look to take Ibe’s place
in the side - although it might make sense to give him his full debut against
weaker opposition.
PREDICTED LINE-UP
Arsenal : Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Coutinho,
