Liverpool v Arsenal: Ian Wright Predicts Winner, Tells Arteta What He Must Do

• Arsenal are inching closer to the title after beating Leeds 4-1 at the weekend
• EPL title rivals Manchester City also beat Liverpool 4-1 in the early kick-off
• The Reds drew Chelsea midweek and welcome them to Anfield on Sunday

Arsenal are almost at the finish line in their quest to lift their first Premier League title since the 2004 Invincibles under legendary boss, Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners marked their return from the international break with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Leeds United, while rivals, Manchester City also dispatched Liverpool 4-1 in a one-sided affair.

Mikel Arteta's men still hold an eight-point advantage while City have a game in hand, with Liverpool's next travail against the in-form league leaders at Anfield.

Jürgen Klopp's men could not overcome a Chelsea side managed by Bruno Saltor, who managed his first game ever after the sacking of Graham Potter, as reported by Fan Nation.

Wright predicts Liverpool-Arsenal winner

Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, who has been vocal about his former team, spoke on the upcoming game and chose the league leaders as favourites to come out with a win.

‘‘I think Arsenal have the energy and the capabilities to cause Liverpool problems. It’s a question of how long we can sustain it at Anfield because that’s not something we’ve done for a while there. Can we sustain the pressure you need so Liverpool don’t go bang, bang, bang? That’s what I’m excited to see.’’ he said on his podcast, Wrighty’s House.

Wright said he could already sense the buzz surrounding the Reds vs Gunners game.

‘‘If we can beat them - which I think we can - then I’m starting to get very excited. I’m excited as it is, but these are the huge games in a title race. I think Arsenal can do it, I’m confident Arsenal can do it. It’s so exciting."

Wright advises Arteta on Liverpool

The Arsenal legend highlighted Liverpool’s major problem this season and believes Arteta must exploit this area to come away from Anfield with a win.

‘‘With what’s going on at Liverpool, it’s the time to attack them and get them to answer some questions. I know we’re going to have a period in that game where if Liverpool are not at it, we’re probably going to score a couple of goals.'

‘‘That’s what I’m excited about. I like our mentality and we’ve got to go there and do what we’ve been doing over the past month or so," he added.

Klopp sends message to Arsenal

Sports Brief also reported on Klopp admitting he could be out as Liverpool manager if the current season of struggles continues at the Merseyside club.

However, he sent a warning to Arsenal that his team's home form is not as bad as away and they will do their best to stop the Gunners in their tracks.
