3 reasons why a win against Liverpool is crucial for Arsenal
- Would prevent falling behind
- Sends a message to rivals
- Boosts squad morale
3. Boost for squad morale
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side have looked a bit deflated since the international break and the two performances since reflect that argument.
The players, bar a few, have seemed to lack any drive and ambition in the past two games and if they want to compete for the title, their attitude cannot remain the same. A win over Liverpool would act as a tremendous morale boost, thus seriously changing the squad's attitude.
The Gunners will be provided with a belief that if they can beat a top side like Liverpool, then they can still go on to win the league, regardless of any recent performances and results. A victory should get the players performing once again so in that sense, picking up three points is crucial.
