Command Analysis

Arsenal

Current form
After the international break, Arsenal performance is not impressive. First, there was the first defeat in the Premier League, and from a modest Bournemouth by all accounts (0:2). Then, not without problems, they managed to beat Shakhtar in the Champions League (1:0). It would seem that in these matches, the Gunners should have achieved their goal with class, in an economical mode, but this did not happen. We see Saliba removal against the Cherries, difficulties with implementation against the Miners. After winning the Champions League, Mikel Arteta noted not only the importance of the three points, but also the difficulties in the tournament.
After the defeat to Bournemouth, the Londoners allowed their main competitors for first place, Liverpool and Manchester City, to get a small lead. Today, there is a chance to make up the difference in a face-to-face confrontation. Arsenal have been almost flawless at home in the Premier League this season. The only loss of points was in the confrontation with Brighton (1:1). It is worth noting that in four home matches, they managed to play to zero only with Wolverhampton (2:0).
It pretty common to see Arsenal struggling with their squad. The possible absence of Saka is worrying. Plus, Havertz and Martinelli have clearly lost their form since the start of the season.

Odegaard, Tomiyasu, Tierney and Calafiori are all out with injuries. Saliba will serve a suspension. Saka and Timber are questionable.

Liverpool

Current form

Salah, who has not slowed down since the beginning of the season, scored another goal, and has five goals and as many accurate passes.

It looks like Arsenal are in a slump.
