Premier League Cup: Arsenal, not credible

author:A selection of two strings and one

Today's game is still 6 games, let's continue to talk about the most difficult League Cup: Arsenal at home to Liverpool.

The match is the second leg of the Premier League Cup semi-finals. Lao Zhang said from the following aspects, to see if you can give you a little inspiration:

First, in the first leg of the game, Liverpool sat at home by Arsenal 0:0 draw, when Liverpool got -0.75 data support, but in the case of nearly 70 minutes of playing more than one person, possession time of nearly 80%, failed to seize the opportunity, this round of institutions mostly gave Liverpool -0.25, I believe it is difficult to get fans to pursue.

Second, in terms of the strength of the team, Liverpool is obviously stronger. In the last 10 meetings between the two teams, Arsenal have won 1, drawn 4 and lost 5, seemingly completely without resistance. But it is worth noting that for more than 10 years, Arsenal have encountered Liverpool in various domestic cup matches, without falling behind, and even the dominant side: in the fifth round of the FA Cup in 2014, Arsenal won Liverpool 2:1; in the 2019 Premier League Cup quarter-final, the two teams played a 5:5 super-large draw in regular time; in the 2020 Community Shield, the two teams once again played 1:1 in 90 minutes; in the fourth round of the 2020 British League Cup, Arsenal drew 0:0 away to Liverpool Then there was last week's Premier League Cup semi-final. History is always strikingly similar, is tonight's Arsenal already a plus in your heart?

Last weekend, Liverpool played one more Premier League game, and Arsenal postponed the match against Tottenham Hotspur because of the lack of a tidy squad, a reason that was spat on by Conte yesterday. What Conte said makes sense, the lineup is not in order to be postponed, and the five major leagues do not seem to have such a precedent, right? Invisibly, Arsenal have 2 more days of rest than Liverpool, and this round is still a home game, less than the pain of boat and car fatigue, does it feel that even the FA is helping Arsenal?

Fourth, Salah, Mane and Keita are still competing in the Africa Cup of Nations, Thiago and Origi are hanging up the free card, Chamberlain was also injured in the last round, and Firmino can only partner Takumi Mino on the front line, this combination is no problem, the effect against Arsenal, the score in the first leg is the most convincing.

Not to mention the fifth, I believe that only the above three points, everyone already has a number in mind - Arsenal undefeated is the optimal solution. But Lao Zhang did not believe in this evil: since the favorable factors on all sides are leaning to the left, why did the director give Liverpool the ball back? If you don't believe it, you can't do it, but you can't believe the director. Recommendation: Away win, total goals 3, 4.
