Game Preview
As Christmas draws near, Liverpool will have to make a rapid turnaround once more when league leaders Arsenal visit Anfield late on Saturday afternoon to play for first place in the standings.
Since Brighton & Hove Albion shot to prominence, Arsenal supporters have become all too familiar with the Seagulls’ home losses. However, last weekend at the Emirates, Mikel Arteta’s side trimmed Roberto De Zerbi’s group’s wings and took back the top spot in the standings. Naturally, Arsenal’s status as the “winter champions” was eliminated at the close of the 2022–2023 season, but now that Manchester City is suffering through a December dry spell and has also postponed their title defense in order to compete for Club World Cup fame, the time has come for the Gunners to bury another championship marker. Despite the defeat at the Villa Park fortress on December 9th, Arteta’s charges haven’t dropped consecutive Premier League games on rival grounds since May 2022. Additionally, Arsenal has won their subsequent away game on each of their previous 6 road losses before being shut down in the West Midlands.
Manchester United prepared to expose Liverpool to a 90-minute tirade last Saturday, as Jurgen Klopp’s team relentlessly attacked the Red Devils’ doorstep in an attempt to gain an advantage, refusing to give any early Christmas presents to their fierce rivals. Liverpool’s performance during Wednesday’s EFL Cup quarterfinal matchup against West Ham United was far from the merciless attacking unit that defeated the Red Devils 7-1 in March. However, Klopp’s team brought the blue-touch paper back, putting on a five-star show in a 5-1 thumping to set up a semi-final matchup with Fulham. However, Klopp acknowledged that he was disappointed by what he perceived to be a lack of Anfield environment in midweek after watching his charges lose points at home for the initial time this campaign over the weekend. Klopp then issued an appeal for support to supporters as Liverpool looks to avoid losing scoreless in consecutive Premier League matches at home for the initial time since March 2021.
