Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview


Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview


Liverpool will be without midfielders Naby Keita and Jordan Henderson for their trip to Arsenal on Saturday.
Both are only scheduled to return to training over the next couple of days after suffering hamstring injuries but are not likely to be available until next weekend’s round of fixtures.
Arsenal come into this one having had their winning streak ended last weekend when they were held at Crystal Palace 2-2, and remained unbeaten in 12 following their mid-week Carabao Cup victory against Blackpool
Unai Emery is desperate for Arsenal to turn around their poor form against top-six clubs, starting against Liverpool on Saturday. Having already lost to Manchester City and Chelsea in their first two games of the season, Arsenal will certainly want a turn of fortunes on Saturday. 
Last season, the Gunners won just once out of nine games against Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
STAT ATTACK 
  • Arsenal are winless in their last six Premier League meetings with Liverpool (D3 L3), their longest such run against them since a run of 12 between 1994 and 2000.
  • Liverpool have won just two of their last 18 away league games against Arsenal (D8 L8), though these victories have come in their last six such visits.
  • Liverpool have scored at least three goals in each of their last five league games against Arsenal (17 in total). Liverpool have never done this in six consecutive top-flight games against an opponent, while no side has ever done so in six against the Gunners.
  • The last five Premier League meetings between Arsenal and Liverpool have produced a total of 27 goals (5.4 per game).



Following Matteo Guendouzi’s red card against Blackpool on Wednesday, and news that both Kolasinac and Monreal are being assessed for tomorrow’s game, I have put Xhaka back into his natural central midfield role and Kolasinac fills in at left back. The deadly front attack remains the same, as Iwobi looks to continue his rejuvenation under Unai Emery, and Aubameyang will want to continue his excellent start to the season 

Score Prediction – Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool

France vs Uruguay Review

France 2-0 Uruguay  France are into the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 2006 after beating Uruguay with the help of a terrible error by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. This quarter-final tie did not come close to the excitement of Les Bleus' win over Argentina in the last 16 but will still be remembered for the goalkeepers displays, with Hugo Lloris producing a contender for save of the tournament while his opposite number made a mistake that was even more memorable and effectively knocked his own nation out of the tournament . Real Madrid's centre back Raphael Varane headed France into a first-half lead from a well executed free-kick , with Antoine Griezmann delaying his run before delivering the perfect cross for the defender to glance home. Uruguay had injured striker Edinson Cavani failing to make the bench, very nearly struck back immediately from a free-kick of their own, but Tottenham captain Lloris produced a brilliant diving stop to deny

England vs Tunisia Preview

Who starts for England tonight, how will Kane and Alli fare, the importance of Lingard and Sterling? For fans all across the United Kingdom, the journey is almost underway. Tonight, England get their World Cup campaign started, and it is of paramount importance we don't see a similar mentality to four years ago. I am absolutely confident we won't. This England side, unlike the squad of 2014, looks ready, and is packed with world class talent. If there's any time to show the world what they're made of, it's now. Despite not being an overly popular choice for manager, there is no denying that Gareth Southgate has done a fantastic job so far of getting his team in the best possible position to go all the way and try and bring this cup home. England did not lose a single game in qualifying, winning eight and drawing two. We have possibly the best striker in the world, Harry Kane, who has just come off of his best individual season with Tottenham Hotspur, netting thirt

Brazil vs Belgium Review

Image
Brazil 1-2 Belgium Belgium produced an exceptional performance to knock the five-time winners Brazil out of the World Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1986. Roberto Martinez's Red Devils turned on the style in Kazan to record their fifth straight victory in the tournament and ensure that the semi-finals will be contested by four European sides for the first time since 2006. Brazil had previously conceded just one goal in their past four games in Russia 2018 but were behind early on when Nacer Chadli's corner struck Manchester City's Fernandinho's arm and flew into the net, and recording the 10th own goal of this World Cup. Fernandinho's Manchester City teammate Kevin de Bruyne doubled Belgium's lead with an astonishing finish that nestled in the far corner from 20 yards after Romelu Lukaku's dominating run. In a very entertaining and open game, Brazil wasted chances, and hit the post when the match was goalless, Thiago Sil
