What a busy day for Liverpool yesterday.Liverpool were drawned in a tough group in the Europa League with Udinese,Anzhi and Young boys in the same group as them.Not only that, Liverpool sold Charlie Adam and Nathan Eccleston to Stoke City and Blackpool respectively and of course Andy Carroll being loaned to West Ham.However the main focus is still the Sunday showdown against Arsenal.Both teams will be eager to win this game as both teams are yet to win this season.
.Arsenal are yet to score a goal this season but, their back four looks solid so far with two clean sheets in their first two matches.The problem for them Podolski and Giroud have to perform .There are big shoes to fill upfront after the departure of Van Persie. Santi Cazorla has been impressive.The gunners has a lack of finishing missing a few glorious chances against Sunderland and Stoke City.Apparently, Arsenal have the worst accuracy this season.
Liverpool on the other hand have failed to sign a replacement for Big Andy on the transfer deadline day.Nevertheless, the Mighty Reds would love to secure their first win infront of the Kop.New signing Nuri Sahin will most likely start the match with Lucas sidelined.
A win would move Liverpool up with four points heading to a two week international match break-a reasonable start in the quest for a top-four finish according to Enrique.
He said, "We have just one point in the league at this moment,but Real Madrid started the same way- it doesn't mean anything yet."
" If we win, it will be a positive message to everyone.Four points in three games two of which were against Manchester City and arsenal is okay I think," added the Spanish fullback.
Expect a tight encounter.
Predictions: Liverpool 2-0 Arsenal
