Liverpool are finally set to meet their first Big 6 team of the season this weekend as Arsenal travel to Anfield. Having come through wins against Crystal Palace and Hoffenheim earlier in the week, the Reds will be riding the wave of optimism to meet the Gunners on their home turf. On the flip side, Arsenal will be looking to make up for a defeat against Stoke City last weekend, and prove the strength of their attacking force with Lacazette, Sánchez, and Özil leading the way. A team strikingly similar to Liverpool at times (all attack and no defense), they’ll surely take advantage of the return of Laurent Koscielny from his red card ban and hope to stop the outright pace and fire that Liverpool are sure to bring. Look for this to be a thunderstorm of goals again, even without creative playmakers Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana. Firmino, Mané, and Salah will surely make up for it - with a little Daniel Sturridge added spice.
