5 reasons why Arsenal will destroy Liverpool

#1 No Coutinho No Party

Liverpool are a mess right now, on and off the pitch. The club are plagued daily by unwanted attention from Barcelona, the same attention they fell succumb to in the past. After rejecting a £114m bid for Philippe Coutinho, it looks as though the Brazilian may be staying.

But his inconspicuous absence through an apparent back injury has left fans wondering whether things will ever be the same. Jürgen Klopp said himself this week that he has no idea when the Brazilian will be back from injury, thus implying there may be no injury.

Liverpool are a far better team with the 25-year old in it, he provides the link between midfield and attack. Without him, the Reds struggle to create chances and produce intricate play in the final third. Arsenal will find it a breeze to defend against an uninspired Liverpool attack with no flair or spark.
