On October 27, Arsenal legend Tony Adams discussed the title race between the Gunners and the Reds, stating that if Arsenal lose this match, they will lose all hope of winning the title.
Adams said, “This is not a must-win game, but it is absolutely one that cannot be lost. If they lose again, the gap with the leading teams will be too large, making the title hopes very slim, even though it is still early in the season. At this stage, it is crucial to stay close to the title contenders. If by April, as the season nears its conclusion, they are within three points of the top team, there will still be a strong chance of winning the title.”
Adams also mentioned the suspension of Saliba, which he believes is very disadvantageous for Arsenal: “Saliba’s absence will undoubtedly benefit Liverpool. In the last match against Bournemouth, after Saliba was sent off, the team lost its balance on the field and gradually fell into disarray. In 1989, when we won the league title, we had me and Steve Bould at center-back, and Paul Merson could also be rotated in. Even if someone was injured or suspended, we were not worried, and it was this depth that helped us win the title.”
Looking ahead to the match, Adams said, “Liverpool are on a good run, and Salah is in great form, but I have a feeling that Arsenal can get a point.”
