An Anfield game between two of English football’s most decorated clubs with a recent history of high scorelines and high drama. It promised much. And if Liverpool against Manchester United did not live up to expectations last Saturday, now comes a match that often has a case to be the game of the season.
Certainly from a Liverpool perspective, given that Arsenal’s last seven league trips to Anfield have yielded them a solitary point. But they tend to bring goals: in Jurgen Klopp’s eight home top-flight matches against Arsenal, Liverpool have scored 27 times. The most recent meeting was the only time they failed to find the net three times and even that required a remarkable injury-time save from Aaron Ramsdale to deny Ibrahima Konate and stop Liverpool from completing a comeback from 2-0 down to 3-2 up in April.
