Liverpool faces tough test this
weekend, they face Gooners and Reds forward Adam Lallana insists that his side
have perfect plan when they visit Emirates. The Merseyside club have won both
their Premier League games this season while Arsenal lost their opening home
match against West Ham.
"The manager will set us
up to get a result there," Lallana said.
"We've had two clean sheets in two games and we'll be looking for a
third on Monday night. We're going there to try to get the win."
The Gunners beat Liverpool 4-1 in last season's corresponding fixture
but Lallana says the Reds will have a strategy to ensure that history does not
repeat itself this time around.
"We'll go to Arsenal with a gameplan to keep this run going,"
he said. "We've got a full week to prepare for Arsenal now. Hopefully we
can go there and put on a good show."
Liverpool beat Stoke City 1-0 in their Premier League opener and
followed that up by beating Bournemouth by the same score at Anfield on Monday
after new signing Christian Benteke turned in Jordan Henderson's cross midway
through the first half.
Lallana was full of praise for
the 24-year-old Belgian, who joined Liverpool from Aston Villa for £32.5m
"It
was a real poacher's finish. It was a great ball in from Hendo and Benteke is a
predator in the box," he said.
"He's
a big presence up there. He's great in the air and good with his feet. He
brings team-mates into play."
