PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR
ARSENAL
Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang
Arsenal’s Gabonese superstar will look to find the back of the net in yet another final. He has been the shining light for Arsenal and has stepped up in big games. At his brilliant best, he is unstoppable. He will look to start the season with a bang.
Kieren Tierney
The Scottish left back was signed last season. His impressive performances at the end of the 19-20 season have made him one of the most consistent players for the Gunners. He has proven to be very solid defensively, somewhat fixing a leaky Arsenal defence. He is decent going forward as well.
LIVERPOOL
Mohammed Salah
The Egyptian king will be ready to wreak havoc down the left wing. His pace and creativity would be instrumental for Jurgen Klopp’s side. He will surely look to improve on last season, which wasn’t his best season(statistically). He will look to expose the Arsenal defence and add another title to his name.
Joe Gomez
After Virgil van Dijk’s injury in the pre-season friendly against RB Salsburg, the English centre half will have to assume leadership of the defence(although van Dijk isn’t completely ruled out). Even if the Dutchman is there, Gomez will be pivotal for the Reds as Aubameyang will attack through that channel and he’d have to be on his toes to stop Arsenal’s main man.
PREVIEW
Liverpool are far superior to Arsenal as a unit but the presence of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will cause problems for the Liverpool defence. Moreover, Liverpool had lost at the Emirates at the end of last season. Although the credibility of the loss is in question as Liverpool had already won the league and were casual in their approach, which resulted in errors. With Rhian Brewster lighting up Liverpool’s pre season camp, he will be a good option off the bench for Liverpool. A cracker of a match awaits us.
