The FA Cup third round match between Arsenal and Liverpool was very exciting. With home field advantage, Arsenal created many scoring opportunities, but in the end the winning team was Liverpool.

Arteta’s army is truly in serious crisis. This is the Gunners’ third consecutive defeat after defeats to West Ham and Fulham. According to Opta, since 2009 Arsenal has lost two consecutive home matches with a difference of 2 goals or more. The first time that happened was in May 2009 (Arsenal 1-3 Man Utd, Arsenal 1- 4 Chelsea).

An achievement that perhaps the Gunners fans are the ones who feel the most pain. Not stopping there, Arsenal only won one of the last seven matches in all competitions, they lost all three of their last matches; that was Arsenal’s fewest wins in a seven-match period under manager Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal had enough opportunities to win this match, but the home team’s strikers wasted them all, especially those most trusted by Arteta like Havertz or Saka. Attacking a lot but not scoring a goal, Arsenal had to receive a ‘recovery code’ from Liverpool. Arnold and Diaz in turn left the Emirates fortress silent.

Liverpool have won 4 of their last 5 matches against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, with a total score of 11-3 (Arsenal 0-3 Liverpool, Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool, Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool, Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool, Arsenal 0- 2 Liverpool).

Klopp’s army still shows strength despite the absence of No. 1 star Mohamed Salah, who is preparing with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations. Arsenal and Liverpool are both in the Premier League championship race, but if they continue to fall into crisis, the Gunners will eliminate themselves from the race early.
