Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Arsenal and Liverpool kick off a new football season in England with the game for the Community Shield. Both clubs have won the Community Shield fifteen times and hope to start the 2020-2021 football season with a new top prize.
Arsenal:
Exactly three weeks ago, the previous season came to an end for Arsenal. The Gunners played the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday evening, August 1. That match was won 2-1 by the North Londoners. It was already the fourteenth time that the North London record holder won the famous English cup tournament. For Arsenal, winning the FA Cup was little consolation, as the 2019-2020 season was one to be quickly forgotten for the recovering top club. Because the team of Mikel Arteta won the English cup tournament three weeks ago, Arsenal still qualified for the Europa League. Everything has been said about the past season of the North Londoners.
In the Premier League, The Gunners eventually finished in eighth place. This made Arsenal the worst performing team of the well-known Big Six from England. The question is what can expect from Arsenal this season. For now, Arteta still has Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at his disposal, but the Gabonese still has not renewed his contract at the Emirates Stadium. With Willian, who came over from Chelsea, Arteta was also only allowed to welcome one acquisition at Arsenal, but the transfer period will of course continue for a while. William Saliba also trains with the North Londoners from now on, after he was rented out to his former club Saint-Étienne last season. In preparation for the game for the Community Shield, Arsenal played an exhibition game against Milton Keynes Dons on Tuesday and that game was won 1-4 by The Gunners.
Liverpool:
Liverpool is the club that will be hunted in England this season. The Reds convincingly won the Premier League last season, eventually finishing 18 points above Manchester City, the final number two in the rankings. The team of Jürgen Klopp had 33 (!) Points more than Arsenal after 38 rounds. Based on those statistics, it is only natural that Liverpool are the favorite for this game for the Community Shield. More than a month ago, on August 15 to be precise, Liverpool lost 2-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
With Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Nathaniel Clyne, three former base players have left Anfield this summer. Only Lovren could count on a place in the first eleven from time to time last season. Still, these three players will not be missed by Klopp and his staff. For the rest – as is the case with many other clubs – it remained fairly quiet at Liverpool regarding transfers. The only purchase so far is that of Kostas Tsimikas; the former Willem II mercenary comes over from Olympiacos Piraeus. In the run-up to the game with Arsenal, Liverpool played two exhibition matches in Austria: VfB Stuttgart was defeated 3-0 and Liverpool drew 2-2 against Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday afternoon. Trent Alexander-Arnold was missing from Liverpool’s training camp and will be replaced against Arsenal by Neco Williams. For the rest, it is very likely that Klopp will start with his strongest team.
