مباراة فولهام وأرسنال : الخطوط المحتملة والتنبؤ والتكتيكات وأخبار الفريق الإحصائيات

.Arsenal and Liverpool are ready to get the 2020/21 English football season underway this afternoon

Depending on who you speak to, the Community Shield is anything from an underrated curtain-raiser for the Premier League to an overblown friendly that nobody really cares about winning

But no matter which side of the debate you're championing, a football match is a football match and we can't help getting excited

about something that signals the beginning of a new season

Arsenal vs Liverpool

Naturally, Liverpool come into the fixture at Wembley Stadium as massive favourites having won their inaugural Premier League title with 99 points, which is the second highest total ever

And their record against the Gunners is something to be feared, losing just one game to the north London club since their 4-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium back in 2015

But if there's any cause for optimism in Mikel Arteta's camp then it's the fact that anomalous victory against Liverpool actually came in their most recent meeting just one month ago

Tight game at Wembley

Arsenal became just the third team to defeat Liverpool in the Premier League last season with goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Reiss Nelson securing an upset victory in the capital

Lest we forget, too, that Arsenal have a remarkable record under the Wembley arch having won four FA Cup titles in six years and bagged three Community Shield trophies to boot

As a result, the season opener is being billed as quite a tight affair, but you wouldn't have thought so if you stumbled across the FA Cup's official Twitter account on Friday evening

It's become customary ahead of big games for fans and pundits alike to choose combined XI's comprised of the two teams and that's exactly what the FA Cup proposed this week
