3 things Arsenal need to do to win against Liverpool

3. Exploit makeshift Liverpool backline

Liverpool will be without almost their entire first choice backline against Arsenal- Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson are nearing return from injury, Mamadou Sakho is still a couple of weeks away from full fitness while Jose Enrique is recovering from a knee surgery. This will mean that Liverpool will have to play youngster Jon Flanagan and unconvincing Aly Cissokho along with Martin Skrtel and Kolo Toure in defense.

This will present a great opportunity for Arsenal to exploit Liverpool’s backline, who are also prone to making mistakes, having committed the most number of defensive errors (28) in the league this season. Their movement will be difficult to contend with for Liverpool, and with Cissokho often caught out of position, they will have a chance to exploit the space behind him to create scoring opportunities.
