Key Talking Points Ahead of Liverpool's Clash with Arsenal

Arsenal’s trip to Anfield will be one of the most crucial fixtures the Gunners face this season. Both teams have an enormous amount to play for, and are set for an enthralling encounter. Heading into the game, there are four big questions that need answering. 

 

Can Arsenal Stay Top? 

Chelsea’s victory at the Etihad ensured that Arsenal stayed top of the Premier League. This weekend, they must win at Anfield to be certain of remaining at the top of the pile. 

In a best-case scenario, an Arsenal win could see the Gunners end the weekend with a five-point lead over their closest rivals. Given the harrowing fixture list that awaits Arsene Wenger’s team, that sort of cushion could prove invaluable.

Are Liverpool Still in the Race for the Title?

Liverpool have largely been written off as title challengers. However, a win over Arsenal would see them move to within five points of the league leaders. With 13 games still to play, making up that gap would seem entirely plausible. 

Liverpool are widely believed to be embroiled in the race for Champions League qualification rather than the Premier League trophy. However, the best way to ensure a top-four finish is to stay close to the summit for as long as possible. If Liverpool can keep the pace in the title race, Champions League qualification could come as a welcome runners-up prize.

Tactical Battles That Will Shape Napoli's Clash with AC Milan

Hardly is a full game played by AC Milan. They went ahead in several matches, only to sit back and eventually lose 17 points from winning positions in Italy. Then they scored goals late, too, and stole points from losing positions.

A chronic deficiency of theirs is a lack of urgency and intensity but for a few shots of adrenaline that seem to propel the spirit, desperate for a goal. It happened on 26 January at Cagliari, where Milan waited until the final few minutes of play to score the equalizer and the winner off a free kick and a corner. Twenty-three of their 35 goals came in the second half this season.

Sometimes the goal would not come. They would waste chances, shooting many times but missing the net even more. They could not beat Genoa with a man advantage and 39 shots attempted, and they failed to get a goal against Inter after threatening to score time and again.
