Liverpool vs Arsenal live

(Press F5 for the latest information)

With top superstars starting to hit the point of falling in style, Liverpool is simply unstoppable. The way The Kop beat Arsenal 3-1 in the final round of the Premier League last weekend has confirmed that the gap between the two sides remains extremely large. Even if the opportunity is reserved, Liverpool can score a few more goals.

But it’s clear that Liverpool only confidently beat all opponents if they use the first team. In a long and tough season with so many unpredictable pitfalls, any coach has to gauge the distance. The most important pillars always need proper maintenance, avoid the constant yard without rest.

Since taking over Liverpool, coach Klopp has never respected the English League Cup (Carabao Cup). This is the tournament that the German military leader often uses as the stage to let the team’s sub-doubles and juniors try. Of course, winning or losing is not that important.

This season is no exception. Before Arsenal some “substitute stars” such as goalkeeper Adrian, old general James Milner, forward Minamino or rookie Diogo Jota were sent off. Alongside that are some outstanding young talents created by the team like right-back Neco Williams (2001), midfielder Rhys Williams (2001), midfielder Curtis Jones (2001) vs Harry Wilson (1997).

To lead the number of “mixed” players who have little chance of being next to each other on the field in this way, coach Klopp decided to use two main points: super midfielder Van Dijk and super forward Salah. Not releasing the strongest force does not mean that Liverpool will part with the League Cup, but they always play with more than 100% of their force as a family style.

On the opposite side, Arsenal also replaced 8 positions on the starting list compared to the loss to Liverpool a few days ago, but overall, the quality of the “Gunners” player in this match is not bad.

Specifically, almost half of the squad are key faces at the moment such as goalkeeper Leno, holding midfielder, midfielder Xhaka vs Ceballos. Rookie midfielder Magalhaes or the most expensive player in team history, Nicolas Pepe isn’t the right guy either.

The rest are young talents, but let’s not forget Joe Willock, Bukayo Saka or Nketiah who regularly played in cup tournaments last season, even in the best games. They have contributed significantly to Arsenal to the 2019/20 FA Cup championship. Thanks to regular opportunities, the number of young Arsenal players appears to mature faster than their Liverpool counterparts.

In the opening minutes, Liverpool pushed and tried to push in the same way they did against Arsenal on matchday three of the Premier League last weekend. But the London Gunners don’t know if they have learned from experience and are relatively effective.

In fact, the Arteta version of Arsenal is increasingly complete the style that has been selected according to the current conditions: defense – counterattack according to the pragmatic philosophy. So if Liverpool are struggling it is understandable, especially in the context of not using the best force.

More than half of the first half passed, but the “Red Brigade” did not have a notable siege round. Arsenal is the same, but as mentioned, this is none of their business. Nor did the situation improve in the second half of the first round.

Most of the two teams contested the ball fiercely in the midfield area and they didn’t look too risky, there were few sudden accelerations to create a mutation.

Exactly until minute … 45, Liverpool had the first dangerous situation of the match when the ball was put into the 16m50 area of ​​Arsenal and Diogo Jota broke the offside trap and flew to the head but was blocked by Log. . Minamino appeared in the right place to make a point-blank clearance and this time he was the crossbar to save Arsenal.

At the beginning of the second half, from a free kick, Marko Grujic (two seasons earlier, playing for Hertha Berlin on loan) had a high shot that hit the crossbar. A few minutes later, Milner took a corner and inside midfielder Van Dijk to join the attack bravely finished off, but with great reflex, Bernd Leno saved Arsenal from the goal.

In the 61st minute, although the home team was stalled, manager Jurgen Klopp decided to put two pillars to rest, Van Dijk vs Salah, to prepare for the fourth round of the Premier League this weekend. In the 63rd minute, Jota used his chest to control Minamino’s long pass and knocked out Magalhaes before reaching into the far corner, but once again Leno played out.

In the 70th minute, Arsenal finally had a chance to eat their first goal of the match. In a corner situation, midfielder Holding jumped high and shook his head hard, but the ball was close to Adrian’s position so it was thrown.

Until the end of the official playing time, the pace of the match continued at a regular level, with no progress. Neither side risks putting the squad to attack according to the motto “you can go back to zero.” Therefore, the result 0-0 is preserved.
