Liverpool have not lost to Arsenal at Anfield in their last 5 games. Arsenal may be a tough side, and losing to Manchester City may have affected the Liverpool players. The worst result that will come from this match will be a draw. Liverpool will find a way to beat Arsenal. It took a brilliant moment from Dominik Szoboszlai to score the free kick last year.

With the form that Isak, Munoz, and Araujo are in at the moment. Liverpool shouldn't be losing to Arsenal.

You're saying this because Arsenal probably have some injuries at the moment. But regardless, Arsenal is still in much better form than Liverpool right now. Individual form is different from team and we can not debate about Arsenal form now having seen their performance in the Premier League and champions league this season. Liverpool have improved lately compared to how they started their season but Arsenal still play confidently than Liverpool. To cut it short, Arsenal is already one goal up and put Liverpool on a tight spot to look for equaliser. Nothing can be conclude yet since they still haven't finished the first half.

That could be a very good morale booster for Liverpool but the situation is a little different now because even though Liverpool are strong enough but at the moment their situation is not better than Arsenal because they still have to do more adaptation and performance improvement.
Liverpool are currently behind by Kai quick goal in the 16th minute but the match is still long enough so that the opportunity is still open for Liverpool to get a return goal or a comeback.

Its just 35 minutes into the match I still haven't found a good pattern from Liverpool at the moment even though there are some chances they managed to get but it should not be enough for them to break through Arsenal defense.
Currently, in addition to the score, the performance of both clubs on the field is still quite balanced but Arsenal with their 1 goal advantage is certainly more beneficial for now.

After Manchester City lost yesterday to Brighton, today Arsenal could go to the top of the point table with a win or draw. Any of these two results will be an advantage to Arsenal except if they lose to Liverpool that's were the problem will be and the will remain behind Manchester City again. Arsenal fans will be hoping for a draw, I think it's been so long ago the last time Arsenal beat Liverpool in their own home, this game will be a test for Arsenal, the fans are aware that winning here will be a huge win because it hasn't happened in recent years. This game will be a big one, Liverpool is in form and that form will be tested today, they have a record to protect and if it happens, Arsenal will go another year without having a win in this home.

So far Arsenal is leading the game from Havert'z goal. The game is so full with intensity because both of clubs are attacking each other. They have to put their consistency in above of everything to win the game. Liverpool keeps bombing them with so many attack because they wanna equalize the score. They can seal the win if they can add more goals, the leave Liverpool behind with zero goal. There are so many free space for Arsenal to attack because it's impossible for Liverpool to use low block when they're losing the lead.

Beside that the moment when Wirtz's free kick was hitting the cross bar makes me feel anxious, but happy it's bounced back out. The non stop attack makes game is very entertaining to watch.

I can feel the high intensity, though i'm only vieiwing it on my stream.

Yes it's very difficult for someone to conclude because the game is still on and we expect a lot of changes most especially when they are playing against Liverpool. Right now it will be abnormal thing to say if we try to compare Liverpool's performance against Arsenal. Arsenal has been doing pretty well which I am fully behind them to win this match so that the loss from Manchester City should be taken as an opportunity to climb to the top. The first half is about to end and Arsenal are still leading, now we just have to wait and see what will happen at the second half.

Arsenal is leading with  1 goal at 44th minute but it looks like that scoreline is holding them down or something. Because Liverpool has been very progressive and much better since they conceded the goal.  Liverpool see more of the ball, more shots attempted and a little more time in Arsenal's 18-yard box. Wirtz hit the goalpost and even Isak almost hit the net and Gakpo seems to be like Superman in the air. Arsenal just tried to survive the first half because they don't have control of the game.

Last season they looked quite convincing, so many predictions said they were ready to compete for the championship. It seems those words were just their dreams that failed to materialize. This new season is really disappointing, Carrick seems to have lost his magic. The players appear to have no spirit to win, and this goes back to two years ago. The club's internal factors should be immediately fixed, there must be a comprehensive and targeted reform if Man United wants to become the king of the EPL again. There must be one unified path that complements each other in order for the team to be solid. But it seems this is not happening after 9 matches they are still losing again. The supporters are increasingly angry and insulting Jim Ratcliffe for not making changes after Glazer stepped down.

It has become a habit at Man United that when they are coached by an interim manager, their performance improves, but when they're coached by a permanent manager or in Carrick case, when he went from interim to permanent their performance gets worse. Almost every time Man United fires a manager, it happens like this. 

So we can conclude that managing Man United isn’t easy, especially when you become the head coach because a team like Man United has very high demands. When there are consecutive losses it puts a lot of pressure on the manager which affects the performance and even causes a rift between the coach and the players. This is what happened with Carrick he developed a poor relationship with the players after experiencing consecutive losses especially after going 9 games with just one win.

Yeah. To make Man United stronger again there are many things that need to be fixed and finally I started to believe what Ronaldo said when he was interviewed on a podcast, mentioning that the problems at Man United are quite complex and need good management to fix. Even if Man United replaces the coach or brings in good players it's still going to be like that because the character of Man United seems to have disappeared.

Liverpool 0 Vs Arsenal 1 HT
Liverpool has really dominated the first half and couldn't score, infact they didn't have a single shot on target after 8 attempts, with the way they have been playing and running over Arsenal it's as if they have more players on the pitch than Arsenal. Arsenal played well when the match started and scored early and since then Liverpool has been in control without any goal. Although I wonder why Liverpool didn't get at least one penalty from the 2 clear penalty incident. That shit pulling on Isak when he was about to head the ball, that actually pulled him back from getting to the ball but neither did the referee or VAR intervened, Gakpo pull back was another incident as well, I won't be particular about that Mac Allister own because I really don't see it as a penalty offence.

[ASloveapg]

Arsenal are leading 1-0 in the first half, Liverpool are not playing too badly, they also attacked equally, but they could not score a goal in the first half in front of a strong defense like Arsenal. Kai Havertz scored the goal in the 16th minute, but Arsenal are a team that is capable of winning even with this 1-0 score. Arsenal's defense is very difficult to break down, and since Arsenal has now secured a one-goal lead in the first half, Arsenal will definitely win this match. However, with a one-goal lead, if they are completely defensive without attacking, then it is very risky, I think Arsenal should score another goal, and if they play defense after that, then they have the ability to win easily, but in the end, Arsenal's chances of winning are much higher, even if they play at Liverpool's home ground, they will come back with a great victory.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Its half time and Arsenal already have one goal against Liverpool that are yet to score any goal, but the way Arsenal is playing is very disappointing to me, I cant count the number of fouls they've committed against Liverpool and I think the referee is being quite merciful else, Liverpool should have won nothing less than two penalties against Arsenal before the first half is over.

And the second half of the game just began, I placed a bet on Arsenal to win this match but right now, I am not quite confident they will win, ball possession wise, Liverpool is doing a great job though when it comes to accurate passes, Arsenal is taking the lead, But I really hope that Arsenal will calm them selves down a bit and play a mature game, because the way they are playing currently, if they end up winning, it will likely be by luck and not by performance.

I don't really know if Liverpool's attacking players gathered together to get high before coming to this match because with this array of attacks they should be putting in a goal by now, Arsenal are playing trash with their normal defensive ball. It's really a bane in any team playing against Arsenal to concede first

[Charcol]

Manchester United hasn't won a single official match since september 10th...
they are truly poorly managed and have drifted away from their identity... it has become the clearest proof that you cannot achieve success simply by spending money and signing players. their current state is genuinely sad.

Some Manchester United fans believe that some key players want Michael Carrick out.  They believe that some of these key players are intentionally underperforming to force the club to mount pressure on the coach. Those in this school of thought believe that Carrick should be sacked and a new coach should be appointed. But how did he manage to help the club win games last season and aid the club in qualifying for the UCL? Carrick's sacking is around the corner. I will not be surprised if he is sacked even today.

I understand that the current situation of Manchester United, which is why many people have such doubts, is natural. Especially after doing so well under Carrick last season, many cannot accept that they have fallen so far behind this new season. It is understood that there is a problem somewhere. But the problem is not the deliberate bad play of the players. You probably cannot provide any evidence for the comment that the players deliberately played badly to put pressure on the coach. Perhaps a player's performance can be poor for various reasons. That is, you cannot assume that it is to remove the coach. A good player can also do poorly due to lack of confidence, wrong tactics, position changes, physical fatigue or poor performance of the entire team.

liverpool lost possession while trying to build up play from their own half. they actually ran back quickly, but couldn’t get into the right positions. havertz scored off a cross from rice. arsenal looks more effective in the first half.
liverpool has been very inconsistent this season. they just haven’t been able to find any stability. there’s still a long way to go in the match. but with the way they’re playing right now, liverpool can’t win. iraola needs to try something different. he just can’t keep up with these mind games against arteta.

The match is just going as expected, it doesn't matter who has the possession or not, one thing I'm certain is Arsenal is winning this game no doubt, that was how Manchester United was looking all good to go at first half, then later lost the game to Chelsea, I'm seeing such performance from Liverpool and Arsenal in today's game, Liverpool will do the playing while Arsenal will do the winning, because Arsenal really need this point so they can't afford to joke with this lead from the, so I'm expecting a win at the end of the game.

I don't even think Iraola is the one to he blamed for this result that we are seeing, he has done everything he's suppose to, he even made the right changes, but if it were me, I would have subbed off Gakpo earlier but the facts still remain that the attacking players of Liverpool are just clueless, I just watched Isak fumble a good counterattack that we would have just released. Liverpool are just annoying me

The match looks very difficult for Liverpool. Having trailed 0-1 at the beginning of the match, they are now fighting against Arsenal's strong defense. But it does not seem that Liverpool will succeed, Arsenal is ahead in the midfield battle.

It seems that Arsenal will take advantage of City's defeat properly, Arsenal will secure their place at the top only if they win against Liverpool. Liverpool's lack of confidence is visible at home, their consistency in both home matches and away matches is questionable.

Eve with the injury Arsenal might be under going right now, Arsenal is far better than Liverpool club, I'm not sliding Arsenal because they are winning right now or neither I'm Arsenal fan, i will deny the fact that Arsenal is good, I'm a Liverpool fan but will not stop from speaking the truth, so Arsenal winning right will automatically lift them to the top of the league and in look of things right now, Arsenal will be topping Manchester City with points, Arsenal has dealing with every clubs that come in contact with, just to make sure they are able of occuping the tap table.

Liverpool has several shot but none was on target. Although I was expecting a win from arsenal I was actually thinking it's going to be a draw game but Arsenal has already won 0-1 which is very important for them to still keep in touch for the title race. Arsenal has went top of league with a three points gap ahead of manchester city, manchester city losing to Brighton was a hope of relief to the gunners i believe that was why there were determine to win Liverpool at Anfield, I also believe this will be great step for Arsenal to win the title again.

Lol  , you got me laughing with that first line of yours and amazingly, you are right, I wondered same at a point but it didn't occur to me to mention that in my first comment on this match which is the comment you replied to above.

I am a die hard Arsenal fan but watching this match, I feared for Arsenal because I imagined that with the way Liverpool attackers are playing, nothing should stop them from having a goal scored against Arsenal but unfortunately for them and luckily for Arsenal, the match is over now and they (Arsenal) have won by the one goal they scored in the first half.
I am happy simply because I won my bet and not because Arsenal played a good game, I expected better performance from them.

This Arsenal have perfected the act of haram football 😄. They led by a goal from the 16mins by a defensive blunder on the part of the Liverpool defence till the end of the game, there were no shot on target from Liverpool, Arsenal completely blocked them off.

Arsenal are back as league leaders and this time they’re going to put a tighter grip on it. At the moment there’s only Manchester City and Brighton to look out for, Chelsea is gearing up to be in that race but they’re not there yet.

[Alonso_]

Good performance from Liverpool, unfortunately they couldn’t take their chances in front of goals, they lost to an Arsenal team that is playing defensively, that is what happens when you don’t take your chances, Liverpool played good game more than Arsenal who was just defending all throughout the game, Liverpool could’ve easily scored 1,2,3 in first half, but the result didn’t show the performance of Liverpool, it was a high intensity game from Iraola’s team, they have to try and convert their chances more when facing bigger opponents, Liverpool can’t win a Premier League title playing this kind of football that they’re not converting their chances. They deserve to lose for not taking their chances in front of goals.
