Analysing Anfield: Liverpool's big defensive risk, the glue of Firmino and Arsenal imitation

Top of the league, European Super Cup champions... but not everything is perfect at Liverpool right now. Kristian Walsh and Josh Williams delve deep into the debate over the Reds' new defensive structure and figure out three things: what is it, why has Jurgen Klopp implemented it, and if this is the right thing to do. The good and not so good of Chelsea and Southampton are touched upon, mainly related to that new-fangled high line, while there is also recognition of Roberto Firmino offering the 'glue' to everything his side does well in attack; Sadio Mane and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also recipients of high praise. There is also a focus on Arsenal, their new front three and whether imitation will be the sincerest form of flattery - or if it is the set-up which could make Liverpool vulnerable on Saturday.
