On Sunday, the peak night of the Premier League, Red Army Gunner Mars hit the Earth!

The focus battle in the Premier League is here again! At 23:30 on August 31, 2025, Liverpool will face Gunners Arsenal at Anfield. On the one hand, the Reds, who had just completed their final victory against the Hammers at home, and on the other hand, the arsenal that started the league with two consecutive victories but lost the generals. This duel between Mars and Earth, just looking at the list of key players on both sides made people's blood pressure soar - Salah, Odgao, Van Dijk, and Martineli, who are not a ruthless character who can rewrite the score by his own strength?

The Egyptian King of Liverpool is experiencing a strange "goal seal" recently. The performance of losing no grain in four consecutive games is his longest "dummy period" since 2021. Even the scene of the community shield kicking a key penalty has become a nightmare material for fans. But don't be fooled by appearances - this guy has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, and his pass and shot at Manchester City are still vivid in my mind. He is a "Premier Messi" switch that will restart at any time. Facing Arsenal's defense line that had just been hit by Leeds United, his iconic left-handed shot may make the Emirates Stadium's nightmare repeat at Anfield in the next second.

Arsenal's midfielder Edgeau has been dancing on the tip of the knife recently. The shocking scene of early injury and retreating against Leeds United last round made the fans sweat. What's even more heartbreaking is the sharp sword of the forward line - this season is embarrassing that he missed two finals in a single game in the Champions League semi-finals, and the shadow of a serious injury to the hamstring in the February League Cup. But Arteta must be secretly happy: as long as the Norwegian commander can pass the ball, his foot is like a direct pass equipped with GPS, which can give Liverpool's high-level defense a try; and the explosive power of the Brazilian boy, Van Dijk's turn speed is comparable to that of the top central defender in classic cars.

Speaking of Van Dijk, this statue of the Red Army's back defense has been a bit lost recently. The Community Shield's performance of losing the ball in 10 times is comparable to that of a midfielder, but his 89-minute header against West Ham United proves that he is still the "Mr. Big Scene". What he fears the most now is a young madman like Martinelli who sprints out for a hundred meters at any time. But the Dutch may have already planned it - as long as you use the shadow of 1.93 meters tall to cover the other party, and cooperate with the cheering of Anfield's tsunami, the sports car no matter how fast you are, it will have to be turned off.

Turning to the history book, Liverpool has not lost to West Ham United at home in the past 10 years, but Arsenal has just announced the success of the "defensive revolution" with two clean sheets. Klopp's team had just experienced a bad thing that was upset by Fulham, and now the whole team is holding back evil spirits; and although the Gunners are at the top of the list, Odegao's injury is like a thunder that was detonated at no time. The winner of this game is probably about who catches the opponent's defense first - is it the empty right path like a grassland after Arnold's assist, or is it the back point where Zinchenko often forgets to bring the set piece instructions?

When Salah's golden left foot met Odgao's magic right foot, and when Van Deck's air hegemony encountered Martinelli's ground lightning, this peak Premier League matchup had long exceeded the scope of the ordinary league. Liverpool wanted to prove that it was still the unsuccessful fortress, while Arsenal was planning to put the flag of conquest on the territory of his archenemy. As for those of us fans who don’t bother to watch the fun? Hurry up and prepare beer and quick-acting heart-saving pills. On the night of August 31, Anfield is destined to stage a good show that makes everyone's scalp tingling.
