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

#3 Sadio Mane (Liverpool): 

Liverpool were not in need of Sadio Mane during the opening game against Norwich City. But, the Senegalese made an instant impact by bagging a brace against Chelsea in the Super Cup, and scoring one and assisting one in their away victory against Southampton.

The left-winger, who joined the Reds in 2016, has scored in all three home games against Arsenal in the Premier League. Mane, who famously opened his Liverpool account during his debut game in the Emirates Stadium, has scored one apiece in Anfield over last three years.

The Reds attack has found its rhythm and the former Southampton forward will play a crucial hand on Saturday. The forward also does an abundance of tracking back to help out the full-backs – making him impossible to replace in the starting 11.

The inexperienced Ainsley Maitland-Niles will play through the right defensive flank for the Gunners. The defender has pace, but Mane is one of the quickest in the world. His contribution in the final third is also impeccable.
