Mikel Arteta was still a player when Arsenal last got three points away to Liverpool. Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla ran the show in a 2-0 win in 2012 with both players finishing with a goal and an assist. Arsenal managed two straight wins at Anfield back then before going on a horrible run without a victory.
Arteta’s men appear to be in a great spot to end the hoodoo on Sunday. Since beating Manchester United 7-0, Liverpool has gone on an awful four-game run without a win and is now in danger of equaling their longest such steak under Jürgen Klopp.
With the team having failed to score three times during its four-game slump, it’s clear to see where the Reds need to improve the most. Can Mohamed Salah spark the attack back into life? He’s got a great record in this match-up, boasting five goals and two assists in five Anfield appearances against Arsenal.
Salah should be desperate to try and help his side reach the Champions League positions. There’s not a lot left in the season anymore and Liverpool is still 10 points away from the top four. This means that they can’t afford to drop too many points from now until the end of the season.
However, getting something on the board against Arsenal is not an easy task. Arteta and his troops have won seven games on the trot in the Premier League and tend to enjoy their away trips, having won 14 times on their travels this season, which is by far the best mark in the league.
Arsenal also has nine clean sheets from away games, which shows that Arteta tends to get his tactics spot on more often than not in tricky road outings. He will want to see another rock-solid defensive display from his team on Sunday as Arsenal tries to record their first eight-game Premier League winning streak since 2015.
