Arsenal made strategic adjustments to their players at the start of the second half in an attempt to score a goal and even the score.

Football commentary Liverpool vs Arsenal
Arsenal will have to prepare for a difficult match with Liverpool, a team they beat, lost and drew with last season. The Gunners will then face Bayer Leverkusen and Olympique Lyonnais to prepare for their opening match of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Liverpool is still the only team in the Premier League without any new recruits this summer, forcing coach Arne Slot to use the same squad as Jurgen Klopp during their pre-season tour. The third friendly match this summer will be bringing them to face a familiar opponent, Arsenal, the team that competed for the Premier League title until the final round. The fact that the two teams fielded lineups with many experiments made this match easily inconclusive.
