Speaking to Paddy Power, Sagna said it would be a tight game
but he believes that Mikel Arteta’s side will come out on top:
“I think Arsenal will beat Liverpool 1-0 and Gabriel Jesus
will score. He’s used to playing in the north and it’ll be like going back home
for him!”
After bagging the opener against Brighton last weekend, Jesus
will be hoping to score in consecutive games when the Gunners line up at Anfield on Saturday evening.
Arsenal will be looking to make up for what happened last
season
Arteta’s men let a two-goal lead slip in the same fixture
back in April. The away side made a lightning-quick start with goals from
Gabriel Martinelli and Jesus. However, they were pegged back, with Mo Salah
getting on the scoresheet just before half-time, and Roberto Firmino completed
the comeback with 3 minutes left on the clock.
Many feel that dropping 2 points at Anfield was the turning
point in the title race as Arsenal went on to draw against West Ham and
Southampton before losing to City at the Etihad. Therefore, the players will be
doubly determined to secure a win this weekend.
Liverpool’s record at home has been impressive
In 12 matches in all competitions this campaign, the Reds
have won 11 and drawn just once. However, that draw came last time out against
Manchester United, as they struggled to put away an understrength opponent.
For that reason, there is definitely hope that Arsenal can
get one over Jurgen Klopp’s side. They weren’t that impressive last weekend,
and the Gunners will be hoping to take advantage of any weaknesses.
If they can secure the three points, it would be a huge boost
for Arteta’s team at a crucial stage of the season.
