There are two basic reasons why Bernd Leno is more suited for this game ahead of Petr Cech. For one, Cech is just returning from an injury layoff and at times against Blackpool in midweek, he looked shaky.

Secondly, Bernd Leno is more suited to Arsenal's playing out from the back. Liverpool's style of pressing their opponents should give Leno the advantage, and even help The Gunners progress with the style Unai Emery wants to play.

You can see that with Leno on the ball, the opposition comes to press him, because they are well aware that he is comfortable with both feet, and playing out from the back.

All in all, we are in for a good game on Saturday evening!
