Arsenal face Liverpool on Sunday in what could already be considered the most important game of the season.

Arsenal know better than most just how important these top-of-the-table clashes can be after recent seasons and big battles with both Liverpool and Manchester City.

Gary Neville fancies Arsenal to win this one, but it will be a tough task.

As you can imagine, Arsenal are coming into this game having done tons of preparation on their upcoming opponents.

Arsenal have found something different when analysing Liverpool

According to The Independent, Arsenal’s analysis of Liverpool’s new look team has brought them to an interesting conclusion.

Indeed, the Gunners have found that Liverpool are now playing in something of a less structured manner in the attack.

Arsenal seem to believe that Liverpool now try the unexpected much more than they did previously and that their attacking players have been given more of a creative license to flex their individual talents.

Liverpool won the league at a canter last season, but it would appear Arne Slot has somewhat changed his side’s approach to attacking.

Liverpool’s attacking stats so far this season

Liverpool have become more free in their attacking approach this season, and, thus far, it’s paying dividends.

Indeed, while Liverpool have shown some weaknesses at the back this season, you can’t complain about the attacking output in this team.

Seven goals in two games is a fantastic return, and what’s more scary is that Alexander Isak could be set to sign too in the near future.

Liverpool are a fantastic attacking force, but Arsenal are yet to concede a goal this season. This could be a case of an unstoppable force meeting
