Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta are set to meet on Saturday. Paul Merson believes Premier League leaders Arsenal will get “all three points” against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.
The Gunners are currently one point ahead of the Reds in the Premier League, with Aston Villa level on points with Jurgen Klopp’s men, Manchester City fourth and Tottenham fifth.
It promises to be one of the most interesting and exciting title races in years, with Arsenal traveling to Anfield tomorrow to take on Liverpool in a big top-flight clash. And Merson tips Liverpool and Arsenal to a draw, with some key battles that could decide who wins the game.
Merson told Sportskeeda: “I think Liverpool have started the game really well recently. They did it against West Ham and Manchester United. If Arsenal can survive the first 20-30 minutes and calm things down, it could go either way. “If Liverpool score in the first 20 minutes they will win, otherwise I think Arsenal can take all three points.
“The Tunners have to defend their starting defense.”Klopp gave various interviews. I think he will continue to play with Darwin Nunes. Because a team needs length.”He will have to take his skills seriously and without the physical presence of Nunes, it will be difficult to deal with the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel.”
Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka will cause Arsenal plenty of problems in the attacking third.”Martin Odegaard is in good form and I think a fight between him and Dominic Szoboszlai could attract attention.
“Unlike Manchester United last weekend, Arsenal will be tested at Liverpool. I think it will be revealed soon and we can get some goodies.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal.
Merson is not the only pundit to question his predictions for the match, with former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov predicting a draw.”It was a very good game between two top teams at Anfield and we are ready to get a draw here,”
Berbatov told Metro. Both teams know how to play football and can hurt the other. If Arsenal put Liverpool under pressure in the first 10 minutes and try to score through the crowd and noise, I think we’ll get a draw. Prediction: 1-1.”
