With the win over Crystal Palace, Arsenal have won 24 Premier League games and have reached the point of 72 they need to look up to!

Arsenal's next opponent is Liverpool!

Manchester United is called the Red Devils, but Liverpool is the Reds!

These two teams are Arsenal's previous strong opponents in the league title, and the next two league games are precisely these two red giants!

Because before this, Arsenal had taken Manchester United lightly, so the whole team, including Zhang Xu, felt that Liverpool, which seemed to be weaker than Manchester United, would not cause any trouble to himself, so he was more or less contemptuous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Zhang Xu and his teammates did not expect that it was this team that had created many miracles in history that brought unexpected difficulties to Arsenal in this game.

At 12:45 p.m. on 8 February 2014, Liverpool hosted Arsenal in the 25th round of the 2013/14 English Premier League at Anfield.

Since the 2008/09 season, Arsenal have lost just one of their last 12 games against Liverpool, winning six and drawing five of their remaining 11 games. Arsenal have won two and drawn four of their last six league games at Anfield, remaining unbeaten.

The two sides have met 43 times in the Premier League, with Liverpool having the upper hand with 15 wins, 14 draws and 14 losses, including 10 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at home. The two sides have previously met 99 times at Anfield, with the Reds winning 54. This is the 215th meeting between the two sides in their history, after Liverpool had the upper hand with 82 wins, 56 draws and 76 defeats. Liverpool still started the last round, with Arsenal midfielder Wilshere returning from injury to start in place of Podolski.

In fact, Arsene Wenger did not take this game seriously, except for the injured Ramsey and Walcott, other main players started one after another.

Arsenal's line-up is still the familiar 3-2-3-2: goalkeeper 1-Szczesny; Defenders No. 3 - Sagna, No. 6 - Koscielny, No. 4 - Medsak; Back 18 Zhang Xu and 8 Arteta; The midfielders are No. 10 Wilshere, No. 11 Ozil, No. 7 Rosicky; Forwards No.15 Oxlade-Chamberlain and No.12 Giroud.

As soon as the game began, Liverpool, playing at home, launched a fierce attack amid the shouts and cheers of more than 40,000 fans.

Liverpool almost took the lead just 53 seconds into the opening period, when Gerrard crossed from a free-kick from the left and Skrtel volleyed in front of the six-yard box!

Fortunately, Zhang Xu reacted in time, and before the football flew into the goal, he rubbed it with his toes, which deflected the football a little bit, and it just missed the goal!

Otherwise, the Slovak would have scored his 10th Premier League goal. Liverpool will also set a new record for scoring in the opening one minute at home in the league for the first time since December 1996!

However, the narrowly missed goal did not cause the Arsenal to be wary, and perhaps in their view, it was just a relatively successful sneak attack by Liverpool.

The only one who feels a little wrong is probably Zhang Xu.

He keenly discovered that Liverpool had a strong desire to score goals and a strong attacking momentum in the frontcourt! This is a very scary thing for the careless Arsenal!

As a result, Zhang Xu decisively abandoned his offensive organization and focused his main energy on strengthening the team's defense.

But even so, Zhang Xu is just one person after all, and if he wants to change the overall appearance of the team, he can't do it alone.

In the fifth minute, Jordan Henderson passed the ball and Sturridge shook off Monreal and fired a powerful shot from 25 yards on the right that was confiscated by Szczesny.

Liverpool almost opened the scoring again in the 10th minute, Sturridge passed the ball, and Flanagan fired from a tight angle on the right side of the box was blocked by Szczesny. Gerrard takes a corner and Skrtel heads in from 10 yards!

It's just that Skrtel's header grabbed the first point, but his header was blocked by Zhang Xu with his head, and the football hit Zhang Xu's head, and then rebounded again and flew out of the hungry penalty area, Gerrard grabbed the first point and shot!

It's a pity that the angle of this shot is off a lot, and the ball is off the goal and flies out of the bottom line! Once again, Liverpool have wasted a fantastic opportunity!

In the 12th minute, Suarez made a clever pass and Sturridge's one-handed shot from the edge of the box went wide of the right post. One minute later, Raheem Sterling burst into the left side of the box and Suarez missed the ball on the edge of the six-yard box. Gerrard's corner was then driven to the edge of the area, where Suarez's volley from 30 yards bounced off the left-hand post and Toure fired wide from 12 yards. It was Liverpool's 19th time this season that they missed the woodwork.

Liverpool created another danger in the 16th minute! , Henderson passes the ball on the counter-attack, Suarez crosses from the right side of the penalty area, and Sterling pushes from the edge of the small penalty area! When the football was about to roll into the goal, he was stopped by Zhang Xu's tackle! Football rolls out of the line!

In the 20th minute of the game, Liverpool finally scored a goal!

Coutinho's direct pass, Sturridge got rid of Koscielny and scored with a single push from the edge of the penalty area, 1-0!

It was his 18th goal of the season, including 15 in the league. Eight goals have been scored in the last seven games in all competitions.

After conceding the ball, Zhang Xu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and he roared directly at his teammates: "What do you guys want to do? What the hell are you doing? Look, what are you doing? Is this Arsenal? Damn it! It's not! ”

The teammates suddenly woke up and finally recovered.

Arsenal then got into the rhythm of the game until half-time, when they were unable to create any more scoring chances.

In the 47th minute of the game, Henderson fouled Wilshere in front of the penalty area, and Cazorla's free kick shot directly into the wall was pushed out of the bottom line by Suarez in the wall.

In the 49th minute, Gerrard took a free kick into the box and Sturridge's header from 10 yards was deflected.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Toure made a direct pass, and Sterling, who was successful in the anti-offside position, burst into the left rib of the penalty area and shot 10 yards away with a single knife that was barely saved by Szczesny, and he immediately made up for it! Zhang Xu once again appeared in a key position and blocked the football in time!

In the 55th minute, Gerrard crossed a free kick from the right, Suarez's header went wide, and Sterling's tackle from an offside position was saved by Szczesny in the near corner.
