Liverpool are set to face Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, with the Gunners looking to end a nine-year winless streak at the venue. Since their only defeat of the season against Manchester City on 10 October, Liverpool have won their past five games across all competitions, a run not seen since the start of last season under Arne Slot. This momentum has been fueled by the team's growing connection with the fanbase, as well as the impressive performances of big-money signings like Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.
Iraola's rotation policy has been a key aspect of the team's adaptation to coaching two games a week, with the manager making three or more starting XI changes in nine consecutive games. This approach has allowed the team to maintain a high level of intensity, with captain Virgil van Dijk highlighting the importance of defending with a lot of intensity to win the ball high. However, Iraola has emphasized that there is still room for improvement, with the team looking to find another level of performance starting against Arsenal.
