Arsenal chases first Anfield win in 13 games using George Graham's defensive blueprint
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta uses George Graham's 1989 defensive tactics to break a 13-game losing streak at Liverpool on Sunday.
Arsenal manager Arteta faces Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Arsenal have not won a league game there for 13 matches, matching the club's worst run there.
Arteta's playing record there is mixed. Arteta won once with Arsenal in 2012 but spent that night in hospital with concussion after colliding with Jordan Henderson.
Now Arteta looks to George Graham, who managed Arsenal to a 2-0 victory at Anfield in 1989 that clinched the title. Graham's approach was defensive first, attack second.
Arteta has revived it, recording 1-0 victories 32 times since 2019. Arsenal's recent loss to Fleetwood in the Carabao Cup has left them without key players for the Liverpool clash.
Why it mattersArsenal's 13-game losing streak at Liverpool is a serious weakness. A win could reshape their season and test whether they can win big matches away.
