Second:Arsenal Balanced in Attack and Defense, Aim to Defeat Liverpool at Home and Take All 3 PointsArsenal, runners-up for three consecutive seasons, are determined to challenge for the Premier League title this season. Although the team lacks a prolific scorer at the striker position, compared to other title contenders, Arsenal remain the most consistent and can be described as well-rounded both offensively and defensively. With the return of key center-back Gabriel, Arsenal have not only strengthened their defense but also improved their ability to compete for set-pieces, which is an excellent tactic against tight defenses. Arsenal’s squad is relatively complete, and their strength on both ends surpasses Liverpool’s. Coupled with home advantage and strong team cohesion, Arsenal are favored to beat Liverpool—who are still integrating new signings—and secure all three points to extend their lead at the top, effectively putting the title race beyond doubt this season.
