#2 Liverpool’s front three are back on form
Another factor that makes Liverpool favourites for this game is the form of the Reds’ front three. Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have found their scoring boots just in time for the big clash against Arsenal on Saturday.
All three forwards started the season slowly, but have been very impressive in recent weeks. Currently, Mane has six Premier League goals – only Eden Hazard and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have scored more than the Senegalese. Meanwhile, Salah is just a goal behind his teammate, with the winger also having five league goals to his name.
The form of the duo should come as bad news for Arsenal. This is because Mane and Salah are players who enjoy playing in the big games and both were on the scoresheet last season against the Gunners. Unlike the Mezut Ozils and Alexandre Lacazettes who normally struggle in the big games, the Liverpool frontline has consistently proven that they can take down any defence.
This is a front three that easily dispatched the almighty Paris Saint-Germain, and Arsenal could just be the next victims.
