3 things to look out for as Arsenal travel to Anfield

3. Arsenal’s ability to deal with adversity

Every Arsenal fan knows that the team this year just feels different. Whereas in previous seasons we might see our squad shy away from big matches, this season Arsenal have taken their game to whoever and wherever they play.

Whereas previous Arsenal sides might have no answer after going down, we now see a side that consistently has a response after conceding.

It was just last season that saw Arsenal play scared in a 4-0 defeat at Anfield, highlighted by Albert Sambi Lokonga looking shaken while misplaying multiple passes at the beginning of the second half before being subbed off. I think this Arsenal side knows they are good enough to win at Anfield, and will play like it regardless of where the momentum is in the game.

There will likely be waves of play where Liverpool are able to impose their game, but this Arsenal group should be much better prepared to deal with it than what we’ve seen in the past.
