Arsenal v Liverpool: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

When Unai Emery last faced Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool, he was at Sevilla and it was the final of the 2016 Europa League. Sevilla trailed 1-0 at half-time before they roared back to win 3-1. It was a preview of the dynamic of many of Emery’s Arsenal matches so far. The statistics show that 75% of his Arsenal goals have come in the second half. If he is to take a first big-six scalp, his team may have to turn out for the first half, too. David Hytner
