This match is a match of the week by virtue of the two clubs playing and it has been a balanced match reminding us the equal strength of the club. At half time now none of the team has broken the deadlock with all the set pieces, which is consistent to their strong defensiveness with all that chances on goal. In their last match it was a draw with 4 goals scored and with what we watching from today's match both teams having the I can not lose attitude on the pitch I am short of belief for goals in the second 45 minutes.

Indeed it is a balanced game in the first half and I like the tempo of the game. When you are watching two title contenders playing you will know. Initially I was expecting goals in the first half but since both teams were unable to score, the game will likely end with just one goal from any side because with how they played in the first half there was no much attempts on the goalkeepers and the second half might probably go in same direction. From the current statistics of both teams, it is difficult to tell which of them will get the win, maybe they might also end the second half in a draw and I think a draw will still keep both teams in good position.

As hard as the match was for the two clubs it was Liverpool that finally broke the deadlock with that perfect breath taking free-kick from the Hungarian AMF, Dominik Szoboszlai which left the Arsenal goalkeeper helpless on the ground.
Your guess on a one goal surfacing from this match was exactly how it went. All the time the match was going on I was missing Bukayo Saka in that his wing for Arsenal, I wasn't having those R2 shots of Saka from any player. With the loss of Arsenal to Liverpool tonight there will be no unbeaten run for the gunners this season.

I was looking forward for Arsenal to break the deadlock in the second half because they were a better team than Liverpool in the first half. When Liverpool and Arsenal played upto 82nd minutes without Arsenal breaking the deadlock, I thought the match would end in a draw, but Liverpool had a free kick in the 83rd minute, which Szoboszlai surprisely scored to deny Arsenal a chance of sharing the point with Liverpool at Anfield.

Arsenal were open to many opportunities to score throughout the first 45 minutes than Liverpool, and into the second half they still were inadequate with utilizing their opportunities. It was a strong match and where strong matches are played up to 80 minutes without a goal the overall projection is a draw for the next 10 to stoppage time. And in the 7 minutes to go for the game to be certified a draw, Szoboszlai free-kick changed the atmosphere in Anfield stadium.
