Liverpool Ready To Put Down A Marker
Arsenal don't look ready for the season to start and they are facing nightmare opponents given their defensive woes.
The first powerhouse clash of the new Premier League season comes at the Emirates and Arsenal do not look ready for the new campaign.
The Gunners are expected to be missing their three first choice centre backs given that Koscielny isn’t considered match fit after a long Euro 2016 campaign and a delayed rest. The same rationale also makes Giroud a doubt down the other end.
Wenger is set to turn to a top flight rookie with Rob Holding tasked with shackling the likes of Firminho, Coutinho, Origi and Mane.
Liverpool have undeniable firepower having scored an unsurpassed 41 league goals in 2016 already.
If this turns into a shootout then the Merseysiders looked well poised to prevail and they shouldn’t be underdogs at a best price of 2/1 with Paddy Power.
