In an exciting showdown at the Lincoln Financial Field, Arsenal faced Liverpool in their final match of the United States pre-season tour. The Gunners aimed to maintain their unbeaten streak after a draw with Bournemouth and a victory over Manchester United.

For Mikel Arteta, this game marked the first encounter with Liverpool’s new head coach, Arne Slot. Arteta, who concluded his rivalry with Jurgen Klopp on a high note last season, securing a draw at Anfield and a win at the Emirates, was eager to start this new chapter on a positive note.

Salah and Carvalho Goals Secure Slot’s Maiden Win Against Arteta

Arsenal fans were buzzing with anticipation to see their new summer signing, Riccardo Calafiori, in action. The Italian, who officially joined the squad a few days ago, had already been put through his paces in several training sessions.

On Liverpool’s side, Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai were the standout names. Slot had to manage without several key players who were still recovering from their international duties in the Euros and Copa America. In contrast, Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Gabriel Martinelli were in much better condition compared to their brief appearances against Manchester United.
