Both Liverpool and Arsenal entered the “Super Sunday” match with 6 absolute points after 2 rounds.

The Reds showed the mettle of the defending champions, winning 3-2 thanks to a goal in the 100th minute from the young talent born in 2008, Rio Ngumoha. However, in that match, although the attack was sharp, the defense was worryingly fragile.

On the other hand, Arsenal showed an absolutely solid performance. They defeated Man United right at Old Trafford, and then "made a mess" of Leeds United 5-0 without conceding any goals.

Notably, Mikel Arteta's team are facing a historic opportunity to win their opening three games of the season without conceding a goal for the first time in 101 years.

The solidity of the central defender duo Saliba - Gabriel Magalhaes and a Jurrien Timber playing extremely well, turned the "gunners" defense into a real steel wall.

Statistics show that Arsenal are on a 6-match unbeaten streak against Liverpool in the Premier League (2 wins, 4 draws).

However, the "Anfield curse" still haunts Arsenal. The last time they triumphantly left Anfield in the Premier League was in September 2012, in a match where coach Arteta himself was still playing in midfield.

For the past 13 years, Anfield has always been a "easy to go, hard to return" destination for the London team.

Both coaches have a headache with personnel issues ahead of the big match. Arsenal will almost certainly be without two key players in attack, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz. The possibility of playmaker Martin Odegaard being on the field is still uncertain, making Arteta even more worried about how to deploy his playing style.

Coach Arne Slot is also uncertain about the services of new signing Jeremie Frimpong and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. The absence of these players will affect the home team's ability to transition and control the midfield.

With the bookies giving Liverpool a handicap of only 0.25 goals for the whole match and the first half, it can be seen that this is an extremely balanced match. Meanwhile, the over/under for the whole match is 2.75 (first half is 1 goal).

Liverpool, with the support of their home crowd and the desire to break the record of scoring in 37 consecutive league matches, will certainly attack from the start. Mohamed Salah - who has scored 11 goals against Arsenal - will be the most dangerous striker.

Arsenal, on the other hand, will stick to their disciplined counter-attacking style. They will actively concede possession, cover up gaps and wait for Liverpool's defence to make mistakes, then launch deadly counter-attacks with the speed of Martinelli and the power of new signing Viktor Gyokeres.

A chase for the scoreline is very likely. Liverpool may be the team to take the lead thanks to the pressure from home, but Arsenal's resilience and effectiveness on the counter-attack will help them find an equalizer.

Expected lineup:

Liverpool : Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Magalhaes, Calafiori, Nwaneri, Zubimendi, Rice, Madueke, Martinelli, Gyokeres.

Prediction : Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal.
