Arsenal is currently four points behind Liverpool and Arne Slot's team is currently at the top of the league. In the xG-table the numbers are in line with the results, both have a few points than they "should" have.
Arsenal, coached by Mikel Arteta, has played a somewhat broken early season and, especially the level of attacking play, has fallen a little short of its rivals. Last week, Shakhtar Donetsk was defeated by a one-goal margin at home in the Champions League, but the winning numbers could have been even bigger - Leandro Trossard missed a penalty. Yet, it is only Shaktar, and a version far from the class they once have been.. Last weekend, the Gunners had to swallow a bitter defeat away at Bournemouth, and on top of all the good things, William Saliba got red-carded.
Of course, Saliba is now suspended, so it seems that Ben White will be arranged as a replacement next to Gabriel. Kieran Tierney, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and possibly Bukayo Saka and Jurriën Timber are injured. So much is still uncertain, but the absences of Saliba, Calafiori and Odegaard are felt. Especially the latter, a superb key attacking piece!
Liverpool, on the other hand, has been the most positive surprise of the top three in the early stages of the seasonSlot's protectors have progressed from win to win recently and the streak has now already grown to eight wins in all competitions. So far this season, Liverpool has been the best team in the Premier League in terms of goals conceded at the defensive end and in terms of goals conceded. They fully deserve the top slot.
Alisson, Harvey Elliott, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are sure to be out on the guest side. Good players, not not unreplaceable.
On the eve of the match day, Liverpool's side is drained - with these lineup situations, the match could actually be a completely even book, i.e. a 50-50 setup. So far this season Pool has performed clearly better than the hosts and when you keep your head clean, it is not possible to lose matches! Arsenal can not be favourites with these absences even if they are at home against a team who constantly not only win games, but do it comfortably by creating more than +2 xG of goal expectation both home and away against any opponent, excluding the weird loss to Nottingham at home!
Good luck!

阿森纳目前落后利物浦4分，而阿恩·斯洛特的球队目前位居联赛榜首。在xg表中，数字与结果是一致的，两者都比“应该”有一些点。
在米克尔·阿尔特塔的带领下，阿森纳在赛季初表现不佳，尤其是进攻水平，与对手相比有些落后。上周，顿涅茨克矿工在欧冠主场以一球之差被击败，但胜利的数字本可以更大——特罗萨德罚丢了一个点球。然而，这只是Shaktar，一个与他们曾经的阶级相去甚远的版本……上周末，枪手不得不吞下客场输给伯恩茅斯的苦果，最重要的是，威廉·萨利巴被红牌罚下。
当然，萨里巴现在已经停赛，所以本·怀特将被安排作为加布里埃尔的替补。蒂尔尼、富康武宏、奥德加德、卡拉菲奥里，可能还有坂武雄和Jurriën Timber受伤。很多事情都还不确定，但萨利巴、卡拉菲奥里和奥德加德的缺席让人感到不安。尤其是后者，一个极好的进攻要球！
另一方面，利物浦在赛季初期是前三名中最积极的惊喜，slot的保护者最近已经从胜利走向胜利，并且已经在各项赛事中取得了八连胜。本赛季到目前为止，利物浦在防守端失球和失球方面一直是英超最好的球队。他们完全配得上第一名。
阿利森、哈维·埃利奥特、迪奥戈·约塔和费德里科·基耶萨肯定会出现在客席上。优秀的球员，不是不可替代的。
在比赛日的前夕，利物浦的阵容被耗尽了——在这样的阵容情况下，这场比赛实际上可能是一场完全平等的比赛，即50-50的设置。本赛季到目前为止，利物浦队的表现明显好于东道主，只要你保持头脑清醒，就不可能输掉比赛！阿森纳在这些缺阵的情况下不可能成为夺冠热门，即使他们在主场面对的是一支不仅经常赢球，而且在主场和客场都能轻松创造超过2xg进球预期的球队，除了主场输给诺丁汉的那场奇怪的比赛！
好运！
