Liverpool find themselves preparing for arguably their most important test of the season yet ahead of league leaders Arsenal’s impending visit to Anfield.
Defeat to Manchester City and yet another disappointing draw with Chelsea mean that if the Reds are to have ANY hope of a top four finish this term, they must achieve what seems impossible and beat the Gunners at L4 this afternoon.
Analysing the game for us, Peter Kenny Jones is joined by Chris Nugent, Tom Helowicz and Jake Atkin to discuss:
What’s gone wrong at Liverpool?
Can Liverpool beat Arsenal?
How do we expose the Gunners’ weaknesses?
We’ve found ourselves in an eerily similar position before following the centre-back crisis of 2020/21, so it’s difficult to completely rule us out just yet when it comes to securing Champions League football for another year.
That being said, we’d be foolish to ignore that the odds are stacked against us ahead of Mikel Arteta’s visit.
It’ll be siege mentality at Anfield - but perhaps that could yield another result to remember against Arsenal and reinvigorate our thin hopes.
