Slot is on a counter while Mikel Arteta’s on a defence, seeing the situation the Arsenal boss is facing at the moment.
The second test for Arne Slot within a week is something that can be overwhelming for the Liverpool boss.
Liverpool survived Chelsea at Anfield last Sunday, and they are looking at having a good run over an injury-infested Arsenal at the Emirate.
The Reds have played four games on the road this season, and they have been decent, winning all their away trips. Liverpool have won 11 of their opening 12 matches for the first time in their 132-year history, also breaking a club record with six successive away victories at the start of a season.
Meanwhile, the visit to the Emirate is a different ballgame, as Arteta’s men would seek to avoid another defeat within the week.
This is Arne Slot’s first visit to Arsenal, and he would try to turn the table against Arsenal, who have been unbeaten by Liverpool in four consecutive games.
In the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, both showdowns at the Emirates saw Arsenal prevail, and the Gunners were able to leave Anfield with a point in both of those years too, although the 2022-23 affair saw Arteta’s men let a 2-0 lead slip in a 2-2 stalemate.
Liverpool have conquered their North London foes in 2024, though, ensuring that the Gunners would not be going for a 15th FA Cup title with a 2-0 third-round win in January, where Arsenal were punished for not putting away their chances.
From October 2020 to March 2022, Arteta’s side also went on an embarrassing six-game run without even managing a single goal against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, although they did win the first of those games—an EFL Cup penalty shootout following a goalless draw.
In contrast, Liverpool has to go back to August 2015 for the last time that they failed to score in a Premier League game versus Arsenal, a goalless draw at the Emirates during the closing period of Brendan Rodgers’s reign.
