Premier League Predictions: Anfield woe for Arsenal?
The other matches on Sunday see West Brom put their flawless record on the line against Stoke at the Hawthorns and Tottenham attempt to bounce back from that Chelsea defeat, and put their Wembley woes behind them, against Burnley.
A 1-1 draw is the most favourite outcome at 29/4 odds. “A year ago we had an outstanding record against the top six but we didn’t take many points against the rest of the league so we thought it makes sense to do that one thing (record against the top six) again and to get a few more points from all the other games”.
Both sides were all over the place during the first weekend of the season, with Arsene Wenger’s side leaking three at home to Leicester and the Reds conceding another triple of strikes to Watford, so if there’s one thing we can expect on Sunday, it’s goals.
He added: “Liverpool face an Arsenal team that still has more questions than answers about it”.
Six out of last eight instances of this fixture have witnessed four or more goals.
It was the same old story for the Gunners as they dominated the proceedings at Bet365 Stadium, but ended up on the losing side.
Three wins out of three still looks likely for United, however, with the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan starting the campaign in depressingly impressive fashion.
“In general you want the players to stay with that club when they have contracts but every situation is different and you have to know really, internally, what is going on”.
“At the moment we haven’t – we just want to focus as a team and not look too much at the contracts of everybody”. For me they have a responsibility to the club.
Liverpool’s Merseyside rivals had a man extra for much of the second-half, but a late strike from former Red Raheem Sterling salvaged a point for the hosts.
The Gunners suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stoke City last weekend.
“He had a reaction in the final game of the season against Everton that was unlucky”.
Wenger is under pressure to trim the number of senior players in his squad from 28 – the Premier League limit is 25 – but there has been little interest in Wilshere, 25, who is working to regain full fitness after fracturing a fibula last April, during his season-long loan at Bournemouth.
