On January 20, the second leg of the English League Cup semi-final will take place, in which Arsenal will play Liverpool at home. The forecast for this match is given by Roman Pavlyuchenko, a well-known striker of Tottenham and the Russian national team in the past.
Arsenal dropped back to fifth place in the Premier League, but largely due to the fact that they have not played since January 1, when they lost to Manchester City (1-2) in a hard-fought match. Then, due to the coronavirus pandemic, matches involving the Gunners were transferred to the Premier League. During this time, Mikel Arteta's team managed to fly out of the FA Cup from the representative of the Championship "Nottingham Forest" (0:1).
The Reds recently defeated Brentford in the championship (3-0), which made them even more firmly entrenched in second place in the standings, trying to keep up with Manchester City who broke ahead. In the FA Cup, the Merseysiders also achieved success, having dealt with Shrewsbury without any problems (4:1). Although the absence of Mane and Salah, who left for the Africa Cup, is felt.
The first semi-final match between these rivals ended in a stubborn draw 0:0. In the new match, Roman Pavlyuchenko also does not expect a scoring extravaganza, but still believes that the advantage in the class of Liverpool will affect, because Arsenal also has personnel losses.
