Arsenal was really good to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, and I was impressed how brave they were, but they still qualified in the Champions League.
Gunners’ fans will be there, believing they need to win more than they have played under Mikel Arteta, which has not yet added to the FA Cup he won the FA Cup, which he won in his first season, 2019-2
Arsenal are still moving in the right direction but have been the biggest problem for me, especially so that he does not sign a striker last summer. There is such accurate margin between success and failure at the highest level, and you need someone to put your chances in the biggest games.
They basically admitted that by trying to sign Oli Watkins from Aston Villa in January, and if someone or anything is guilty of another season without a cup, it is where there is.
Arsenal now need a reappearance and make sure they are not allowing second place to slip.
This game is obviously not the title that some people may have predicted at the beginning of the season, but I still feel that both teams will be disappointed in winning.
It is the only shame that from Liverpool’s point of view, it may be due to a lot of shadows due to the announcement of Trent Alexander-Anold’s announcement.
There is this debate around Alexander-Arnold now, and whether it should start with Anfield at the end of the week or the game at all, and what kind of reception he will get if he does.
No one can tell Liverpool fans, or any club fans, what to think – I contained myself – but we can all have an opinion on this issue, whether we support them or not, and I think some of the reactions to all this story were completely at the top.
People look at Alexander Arnold fairly as someone who has served his son’s club for more than 20 years after rising, but only wants to be at Real Madrid and the world’s biggest club and the most successful club in the European Cup and the Champions League.
What would they do if they were in the same situation? You have always found Die-hards that doesn’t change or sees anyone else’s things, but Alexander-Arnold doesn’t deserve the ridiculous pain it gets.
In terms of the game itself, I really don’t know what to expect. Liverpool were very below their best against Chelsea last week, but Arn Slot could be strong here and they may feel there is a point to prove it to their closest competitors.
Similarly, Arsenal can be flat in Paris after their disappointment, or they can get out of shooting. I hope that is, and both teams will be for that.
Sutton prediction: 1-1
Futsi’s predictions: It’s close to it but Liverpool will win. 2-1
Strategic prediction: That’s not a bad cry, it may need to say the same there. 2-1
