Liverpool vs Arsenal

> Match Date/Timings: 23/12/2023

6:00 PM UTC / 8:00 PM CEST

Liverpool comes in second place to the start of the 18th round with one point behind Arsenal. The victory today will allow the hosts to beat the competitor, but there is also Aston Villa which on the eve of the tour has the same 37 points. Now a serious struggle for the intermediate first place has unfolded in the Premier League. In the last round at Anfield, they could not open the Manchester United defense in 90 minutes (0:0). Liverpool players struck 34 shots on the opponent's goal, eight of them on goal, held the ball 68% of the time, but clearly luck was not on their side.

In the next match in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, they left no chance for West Ham (5:1). They continue to impress with their home achievements. The team has not lost at Anfield for more than a year in the Premier League 16 wins and four draws. Due to injuries, defenders Joel Matip and Andrew Robertson, as well as strikers Diogo Jota and Ben will not play today.

Arsenal is one point ahead of Liverpool in the standings and clearly will not mind increasing the gap. Of course, it's hard to do this, given that they have not won at Enfield since 2012. After a 0-1 loss to Aston Villa, they confidently beat Brighton (2:0) in the next round at home. Since the beginning of the season in the Premier League, Arsenal has suffered two defeats, and both failures fell just at the away meetings.

In Arsenal, injured defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, midfielders Thomas Party and Fabio Viera will not be able to help their team. The other day it became known that head coach wants Arsenal to sign a central striker, midfielder and two extreme defenders in the winter transfer window
