Liverpool vs Arsenal live: Mohamed Salah gives Arne Slot's side early lead in Philadelphia

Liverpool Beats Arsenal 1-0 In 16 Minutes

Slot seems to be testing out his midfielders to see who can fill the number 6 position. Dominik Szoboszlai is the latest player to be given a shot in the deep role. The tempo of the pre-season game is quite lively. It's unlikely that the game will end with just one goal scored.

Liverpool Scores Against Arsenal, Lead 1-0

Liverpool is in the lead thanks to a great play that started in their own half. Kelleher passed the ball to Jota, who showed great skill in holding up the play and then passed it back to Elliott. Elliott then spotted Salah making a run from the outside towards the inside, a move that we have seen many times before. With an excellent through ball, Salah was able to get past Gabriel's attempt to bring him down and scored a beautiful goal from the edge of the box, curling it into the bottom corner.

Elliott tried to shoot from outside the box with his right foot, but his shot was weak and deflected easily into Hein's hands. He should have passed the ball to Salah, who was in a good position to score in the box.

Salah sends a pass into the middle of the penalty area from the right side, but it goes straight to Hein, the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Liverpool And Arsenal Draw 0-0

Kelleher got lucky when he held onto the ball for too long near his goal, and Jesus came towards him to pressure him. Jesus's block ended up going past the post and wide, making Kelleher feel relieved.

Havertz is positioned on the left side of the field. He passes the ball back to Jesus, but his control is not precise. This gives Kelleher the opportunity to reach the ball first, allowing Liverpool to safely kick it away from their goal.

We have begun in Philadelphia.

Both teams come out of the tunnel and we are just moments away from the game starting. The Lincoln Financial Field is completely full and the atmosphere in Philadelphia is buzzing with noise.

Prior to the start of the match, both teams will participate in a moment of silence to honor the individuals affected by the incident in Southport.

Fun fact of the evening: Sepp Van Den Berg, a defender for Liverpool, lives near me when he's not out on loan. It's worth mentioning that he doesn't reside in a fancy footballer's mansion, but with Liverpool valuing him at £20 million, it's likely he will upgrade soon. There have been rumors that Liverpool is seeking to strengthen their team, and Slot is interested in observing the Dutch center-back closely. With Arsenal having a strong starting lineup, it will be interesting to see how much Van Den Berg has progressed.

Team News Reminder

Liverpool's starting lineup consists of Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, Van den Berg, Tsimikas, Jones, Elliott, Szoboszlai, Salah, Carvalho, and Jota.

Alternative Options: Davies can be replaced by Pitaluga or Jaros if needed. Konate and Gravenberch are also good choices. For the midfield, Endo, Morton, or Nyoni could step in. In defense, Chambers, Beck, and Stephenson are solid backups. Phillips, Nallo, and Doak could also be considered. Gordon, Bajcetic, and Blair are options for the attack. Koumas and McConnell are other possibilities for the team.

Arsenal: Hein, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Havertz, Nelson, Jesus, Martinelli. Arsenal have a strong lineup with players such as Hein, White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Havertz, Nelson, Jesus, and Martinelli.

Possible alternative words: Replacements: Mitchell, Anderson, Vasquez, Bliss, Reynolds, Klein, Park, Garcia, Singh, Roberts, Hart, Fernandez, Tan, Davis, Kim, Peterson.

Liverpool coach Arne Slot talked before the match and mentioned that Diogo Jota will play for 45 minutes in tonight's game, marking his first pre-season appearance. Slot also explained that Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate will not play tonight because they have only recently joined the squad and need more time to settle in.

Arsenal supporters will need to be patient before getting a glimpse of their recent signing in action on the field. Riccardo Calafiori recently joined the team from Bologna in a £42 million deal, but he will not be part of the squad for tonight's match.

Many Liverpool fans believe that the season's title bid started to decline when Diogo Jota got injured in February. His absence during crucial games may have been the deciding factor.

It will be interesting to see how he performs in his first pre-season game. He was positioned as a wide striker by Klopp before, but now it seems like he will be playing as the number 9. When he is healthy and in top form, there is no one better at scoring goals at Anfield.

Is Eddie Nketiah Heading To Marseille?

Tonight, he will be sitting on the bench for Arsenal, but there is speculation that he may transfer to a new team this summer. Arsenal is in talks with Marseille, who are keen on bringing the striker into their squad. Sam Dean provides updates on this potential transfer as well as other transfer rumors from the Premier League, such as West Ham's pursuit of Germany striker Niclas Füllkrug.

Gomez Considers Future At Liverpool

Liverpool player Joe Gomez is thinking about what he wants to do next at Anfield after reports came out that he was close to leaving the team last month in exchange for Anthony Gordon.

The team from Merseyside were willing to trade Gomez in order to officially bring Liverpool-born Gordon on board as the first signing under new manager Arne Slot.

Chris Bascombe has all the details.
