Liverpool Vs Arsenal: 5 players who could change the game on their own | Premier League 2019/20

#4 Dani Ceballos (Arsenal): 

Arsenal’s midfielder Dani Ceballos was a standout performer against Burnley. The Spaniard managed to clinch the Man of the Match award for providing two assists to Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.

The on-loan midfielder has a bucket full of energy and acts as the pressing machine to close down the opponent’s transition. Similar to Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp likes to build the attack from the backline, especially through the full-backs.

If the Gunners manage to close down Trent Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson, the Reds midfielders will be suffocated as well. Dani Ceballos will have a huge role to play in nullifying the opponents’ strength.

With the likes of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira likely to shield the backline by sitting back with the defence, Ceballos will have the freedom to roam around the pitch and win the ball back. During the second goal against Burnley, Ceballos got a piece of the ball which fell to Aubameyang’s foot. The Gabonese still had a lot to do, but he took a shot to beat Nick Pope in his far post.
