Raheem Sterling vs. Per Mertesacker
Young England winger Raheem Sterling is certainly the most potent attacking threat that will be on show for Liverpool – and Rodgers is likely for the lightning quick teenager to target Arsenal centre back Per Mertesacker on account of the German’s notorious lack of pace and mobility. Arsenal will have to play a sensible defensive line and look for Mertesacker to nullify Sterling through intelligent positioning and physical presence, whilst his teammates will certainly also have to help him out.
