00:00It's either we have a 2-2 draw or a 2-1 win for us.
00:03You're talking as if Liverpool would just fold it.
00:07I never said that.
00:08A 2-2 draw and a 2-1 win is not an easy game.
00:12Well, I think with the addition of Iberi, I think Arsenal will be strong, but I don't
00:19really see them winning.
00:20They don't have the character of them winning.
00:22Match day three in the Premier League provides us with a cracker, of course.
00:25The Battle of the Titans, Arsenal up against Liverpool at Anfield.
00:29Of course, these guys, we know they've determined what the title race will be in the last one
00:34year.
00:34Will it happen again in this season?
00:36We'll have to wait and see as both sides will converge in Merseyside.
00:41My name is Armin Daniels and this is a fresh episode of The Nutmeg right here on The Guardian
00:45TV.
00:51Right, of course, I'm not alone as always.
00:53The guys are in the studio with me.
00:55I've got President Eniola Daniels repping his club, Chelsea, though we're not talking
01:00about them today, but of course, he can offer his perspective.
01:03Great to have you on the show.
01:04Thank you for having me.
01:05Well, of course, it's not a jersey, but we know which club side that K support and that
01:10is the Arsenal.
01:11They will be playing away at Anfield.
01:14Great to have you on the show.
01:15Always a pleasure, Emile.
01:16Of course, let's start from this.
01:18We know these two teams last season, the title race was about them.
01:21Although Liverpool were miles apart at the end of the day, but let's ask you first,
01:26Sir President Eniola Daniel.
01:28How do you see the title race evolving as the season goes on?
01:32Well, I think it's actually CLE to determine or to know who will imagine winning or Aston
01:40finishing second again as they usually do.
01:45But I think it's going to be an interesting game this season.
01:49This season is going to be interesting.
01:51Talking about Arsenal having our Iberi.
01:56Absolutely.
01:57The new sign of Iberi chasing will improve them.
02:00It will, of course, take the team to new levels.
02:03Let me come to you now, Kay.
02:05Obviously, this season has been a great start.
02:07Yeah, yeah.
02:081-0 against 1-1 United at Old Trafford when the Red Devils were tough.
02:12They were up and about in their own patch.
02:14And then 5-0 against a really promoted Leeds United.
02:18That makes for good reading.
02:19Six goals.
02:20No goals considered in two games.
02:22Is this the season for the Arsenal?
02:24Well, we are looking forward and hoping that this is finally the missing piece that we've
02:31been waiting for.
02:32And it's been quite a rollercoaster one.
02:35You know, he's trying to betray Javi all the time.
02:37Finishing second, you know, back in there.
02:39But of course, we are finishing.
02:40It's not a Javi, it's fast.
02:41No, we are still finishing second.
02:42Some are 14th, some are 15th.
02:44Are you saying we finish second again this season?
02:45No, no, there are people who could even make that.
02:47They are bike rack.
02:48They are best rack.
02:50They used to be fought back in the day now.
02:51They are world champions, you know, after finishing, we understand, fought or fibs.
02:55That world champion time will last for four years.
02:58World champions glorified what?
02:58It's not glorified.
02:59Glorified pre-season.
03:00Okay, we are not talking about that actually.
03:01Yeah, let's do this.
03:01So, Liverpool then, yeah.
03:02Yes, always a tough game at Anfield, most importantly.
03:05But we know the history of this match.
03:06You know, most of the time, we have a lot of goals and both teams, you know, giving their
03:10best cracker.
03:11Last season, we all saw it.
03:132-2 back-to-back, both at Anfield and Henry Stadium.
03:16Another season that I feel Arsenal now looks more, you know, quite more formidable.
03:21Their last season.
03:23And although, you know, injury again is starting to upset the team.
03:26Yes.
03:27But still, I think Arsenal should nick this one.
03:31But talking about record, I will also disagree with you.
03:35Since 1995, both Liverpool and Arsenal have played a record of 73 games between them.
03:42And Liverpool has won 26 times.
03:46Okay.
03:46And Arsenal winning 20 times.
03:49With Liverpool scoring 131 goals.
03:51Okay.
03:51Oh, my God.
03:52And Arsenal scoring just 105 goals.
03:55No, no.
03:561005 goals.
03:57Can you just hold on?
03:58Sorry, sorry.
03:58Sorry, sorry.
03:59This is actually not the season for you.
04:00Sorry, sorry.
04:01It's actually not the season for you.
04:01You're saying something that's just.
04:03101 goals isn't a just.
04:05And as I'm saying, this is a game that always provides goals, except where, you know, some
04:10occasions.
04:11And then you cannot say that you're comparing the stats.
04:13If you look at the past few seasons, I'm talking about from 2022 to 2025.
04:18Those are close seasons.
04:19Arsenal has really been hope.
04:21How many trophies have you won?
04:23It's not all about trophies.
04:24We were talking about a game.
04:25It's not about trophies.
04:26It's not all about it.
04:27There are people that are 15th.
04:28Some are relegated.
04:30Some are also back to the assistants.
04:31What we are trying to say is that Arsenal have been a team that have upped their game
04:36in the past couple of seasons.
04:37And now, against all trophies, we haven't lost in the past three seasons.
04:42That's amazing.
04:43And even you, you can't see the record.
04:45So what is actually the end point?
04:46What is the end point?
04:47The end point is you keep trying until you get it.
04:50And yes.
04:50But you know, they say the end justifies the need.
04:53It does.
04:54And then if you give up because you are second last season, then what happens?
04:58Let's talk about it.
04:59It sounds so much like Mikel Ateta.
05:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:02But let's talk about the best now.
05:04Liverpool.
05:04Liverpool, Champions League, Premier League, and other trophies.
05:08Can we stop?
05:09You know, let's cut.
05:10You know, let's...
05:11Liverpool in question, yes.
05:13They were champion last season.
05:14But I can bet with you that this season, Liverpool will feed the heat.
05:17All right.
05:18You know what?
05:18Let's reach the balance.
05:19You can't put your money on it.
05:21Let's talk about a game in perspective now.
05:23Happen at Anfield this coming weekend.
05:26Okay.
05:26What exactly are you expecting?
05:28Obviously, Liverpool are champions.
05:30They were coming to this game with a lot of impetus as well.
05:33So, in terms of predicting how this game goes by, what are you expecting?
05:38To be fair.
05:39A fair one.
05:39No bad.
05:40No bad.
05:40To be fair, to be fair, the last game between Liverpool and Arsenal ended 2-2.
05:47Okay?
05:48Liverpool leading by two goals to nothing to Arsenal coming back.
05:54But I still want to believe that that game was rigged because I don't see...
05:59I don't know why Arsenal will come back to win.
06:02But this season, I think with the addition of Eberle, I think Arsenal will be strong.
06:09But I don't really see them winning.
06:12They don't have the character of winning.
06:13Let me come to him.
06:18You know you need to be wary about your predictions.
06:20I like to give, you know, caveats like this.
06:22Last time I said, first...
06:24Last time we can forget about last time.
06:28Okay, so you are sticking to your prediction.
06:32It's going to happen.
06:33You are saying Liverpool will defeat them at Anfield.
06:35I'm not saying defeat.
06:37But I'm seeing the draw in that game.
06:40Okay.
06:41It's either a draw or a win for Liverpool.
06:47But Eberle is just coming to enter the game.
06:51What are you saying?
06:52Let's worry about what you're saying.
06:54For now.
06:56Only for now.
06:57One hit against Man United.
06:58Good result.
06:59Five hit against Leeds United.
07:01Yoko Resh scoring a double in that one.
07:03What are you expecting against Liverpool?
07:04Yes, the momentum is there.
07:06You know, we've built it now.
07:07Back-to-back victories.
07:09And I feel Arsenal also can finally, you know, go on the edge and have this game three points.
07:17Yes, I believe.
07:18So you go to Anfield and get three points.
07:19We have the character.
07:19Yes, we have it.
07:20And like I said in the past three seasons...
07:22He disagreed.
07:22He said you don't have the...
07:23He doesn't have to.
07:24He doesn't have the character as a winner.
07:25But when you're talking about the past three seasons, like I said, Arsenal have helped
07:30your game.
07:31Most especially against the top six.
07:32So yes.
07:33And you know, with Eberle coming in and with Yoko Resh firepower, of course, many people
07:37are still like, oh, what I'm telling you is going to come good.
07:40And I'm expecting Yoko Resh as well to also find the back of the net in that encounter.
07:44So from my end here, it's either we have a 2-2 draw or a 2-1 win for us.
07:50You're talking as if Liverpool would just fold it.
07:53I never said that.
07:54A 2-2 draw or a 2-1 win is not an easy game.
07:59Well, I don't see you having three points.
