Match Preview BPL 3: Liverpool vs Arsenal

Liverpool FC vs Arsenal FC

at Anfield Stadium

2 - Sep - 12 13.30 ( GMT +1 )

Liverpool will come with their strongest Lineup. they will be motivated to win their first match in BPL after their convincing draw against Man City in their previous BPL game. passion and believe is what drive Liverpool to win, it's just a matter of time that Brendan Rodgers strategy would be fully understand and implemented by the player.

In the goal line, Liverpool would play with their best option: Pepe Reina.

for the Wingback position, Jose Enrique are expected to be back from injury and partner with Glen Johnson.
in the Center Back, Daniel Agger would be back from suspension and will be partner with Martin Skrtel

Joe Allen who has been outstanding, would play as the Defensive Midfield to replace the injured Lucas.
Nuri Sahin and Steven Gerrard would be partner in the Central Midfield.
and Lastly, Luis Suarez, Fabio Borini, and Raheem Sterling would play in the attacking forward to break through Arsenal Defense.

This is the strongest Liverpool lineup possible, they will start fast and try to get the first goal by dominating possession from the very start of the game. concentration is the key here, Liverpool wouldn't want to repeat their sloppy mistake against City.

Another Highlight in this match is how Nuri Sahin would fulfill the expectation, he would determine to prove his worth to the team and would play with his best, for those who still doesn't know his style of play, it would be better for you to imagine Alonso. Yes, Xabi Alonso, his style of play is similar to this Anfield Legend. it would also be emotional for Sahin as Arsenal is also attracted to sign him before he choose Liverpool. he would prove to everyone that he made the right choice and help Liverpool to get their first win.
For Alternative, Liverpool still has Coates in the defense; Jonjo Shelvey and Jordan Henderson in midfield; and also Oussama Assaidi who has yet make a debut for the Reds.

Arsenal will depend on Vito Mannone in the Goal line as their number one goalkeeper, Szczesny is still injured. Actually, Mannone has done a great job to hold Stoke City at their previous match in Britannia Stadium, but in Anfield, he would have a bigger test to hold Suarez, Gerrard, and Borini to score. in the backline, they will deploy their strongest defender of Jenkinson, Metersacker, Vermalen, and Gibbs. while in midfield: Diaby, Arteta, and Santi are their best option to attack, though they still have Ramsey and Rosicky in the bench. For Attacking option, they would play with Gervinho, Podolski, and Giroud; and athough they failed to score a goal against Stoke and Sunderland, they already had a good understanding among themselves, the poor finishing is the thing that let them down. Lastly, not forget to mention Arsenal still have Ox Chamberlain and Theo Walcott to came on as a super sub.
