The handshake between Lacazette and Aubameyang has become a custom ever since the Gabon striker joined Arsenal in January 2018, and it continued even when Lacazette was substituted in the second half.

Arsenal and Liverpool have shared an intense rivalry since long, and it has been growing ever since. However, with the recent rise of the Reds, Arsenal have been subject to the losses in the recent matches.

But this time, both the sides are having a great start to their new season, as both the English giants have not dropped a point in the league so far. Thus, it remains to see, who will be standing tall this weekend to do the ‘handshake’ celebration, as one out of the two might lose the clash.

Aubameyang and Lacazette are one of the most decorated duos to ever play in the Premier League. Whereas, Van Dijk and Robertson have gained prominence in the current era of defensive gameplay. Therefore, surely, it will be an exciting clash to look ahead this week.
