Liverpool Vs Arsenal Coming This Saturday On DStv

SuperSport viewers on DStv can look forward to a classic Premier League rivalry, as Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on the evening of Saturday 20 November 2021.

DStv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.

While the Reds continue to look like one of the top teams in England, the Gunners have recovered from their awful start to the season and manager Mikel Arteta will see this clash as a good litmus test by which to judge his team’s progress.

“When you play against the team that is going to be up there obviously it’s great when you’re able to beat them. It’s another game, we are on a good run and we have to continue to do so. We will have to improve,” said Arteta.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, will hope to see his side capture their best form and put on another powerful display in front of their faithful in Merseyside.

“We will need to have all our best aspects right at the top level,” said the German. “I want to see us be clinical and create the pressure. All games are important and we will approach this with the same respect for our opponents.”

Key players

Mohamed Salah – The Egyptian has continued to rack up the records this season, scoring goals for fun and establishing himself as the best player in the world right now. Salah will hope to find the back of the net again and lead Liverpool to victory.

Bukayo Saka – The English attacker has been at the heart of some of Arsenal’s best moments this season and he continues to grow into a superb player. A dominant display at Anfield would underpin his status as the Gunners’ top talisman.

Head-to-head stats

In head-to-head stats, Liverpool and Arsenal have met in 233 matches in all competitions since their first clash back in 1893. The Reds have claimed 91 wins compared to 81 for the Gunners, while 61 games have been drawn.

Liverpool completed a league ‘double’ over Arsenal last season, winning 3-1 at home and 3-0 away, with Diogo Jota scoring three goals across the two matches for the Reds.

Battles to watch

Jurgen Klopp v Mikel Arteta – Both managers will want their teams to play with intensity and determination, though Arteta would do well to set his team up to play on the counter-attack and try to find a way to bypass Liverpool’s high press.

Jordan Henderson v Thomas Partey – Henderson’s energy, drive, and leadership from midfield are key to Liverpool’s play, but he’ll have his hands full when in battle with Arsenal’s Ghanaian star Thomas Partey.

Virgil van Dijk v Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – The peerless Dutch defender has returned to the peak of his powers and will hope to keep a lid on the explosive attacking exploits of Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
