Arsenal Vs Liverpool Today At 8:45pm - European Football
This game may be played on Dec 22. Arsene Wenger believes Mesut Ozil is enjoying his best run of form in an Arsenal shirt ahead of a hectic festive period which will see his side face West Ham, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and West Brom. Ozil, who is currently involved in a contract stand-off with the Gunners, scored a spectacular winner against Newcastle United on Saturday to help Arsenal to a tenth league win of the season.
The German superstar now has three goals and five assists for the campaign and Wenger insists he is in the form of his life ahead of Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash with West Ham and Friday’s Premier League fixture against Liverpool. Arsenal forward Olivier Giroud will miss Friday's game, and most likely the majority of the festive fixtures, because of a hamstring injury.
Francis Coquelin could be fit despite also limping out of the League Cup win over West Ham, while Shkodran Mustafi is available after a thigh injury.Liverpool welcome back Emre Can from suspension, but Daniel Sturridge and Joel Matip remain fitness doubts. Alberto Moreno is still sidelined by an ankle problem.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on his side's 4-0 defeat in the reverse fixture: "When you have such a long career as I have, you have some defeats unfortunately that hurt you for the rest of your life."When you can put things right, do it. So let's focus on what is in front of us and turn up on Friday night with a completely different performance."The motivation is there. This squad has a good mentality and it is about us, to make sure we are on top of our game.
We must play with pace and a determined attitude."Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "I don't know if there will be a lot of goals again, but we go there to perform and to get as much as we can. We know that's difficult but in this moment I feel it is possible."Arsenal are a complete football team, they areable to do everything, switch and change styles.
Against us it happened that they played a lot of long balls to Giroud. He cannot play (Friday) so that will mean they will change a few things maybe."But they are able to create, they will have a strong side whoever will play. It means a lot of good, good footballers on the pitch."
