Liverpool midfielder knows the key to beating Arsenal
Liverpool midfielder, Lucas Leiva, believes that he knows the secret to beating Arsenal, before they clash with the North London side this weekend.
The Brazilian says that his team need to keep the ball if they are to beat their Premier League rivals, and despite the losses of Cesc Fabregas and the seemingly departing Samir Nasri, the Gunners are still formidable opposition.
Speaking to the official Liverpool website, Lucas stated: “They like to pass the ball, they have a lot of possession. They have been fighting for titles for a few years but they couldn’t win. For sure this season they are going to be strong and it will be a tough game.”
He added: “I’ve played many times at the Emirates with Brazil and Liverpool. It’s a fantastic stadium and the atmosphere is very good. We had a difficult game there last season. In two minutes we conceded and scored.”
The tough tackler took a good while to find his feet in the Premier League, but had a number of standout performances last campaign, and will be looking to maintain this form this season.
