Liverpool or Arsenal? Van Persie names the team that will secure 3 points

Ex-striker Robin van Persie described Liverpool’s gameplay as outstanding under Arne Slot. Moreover, the Feyenoord manager acknowledged the challenge in choosing the victor of the Liverpool vs Arsenal match in the 2025 Premier League round 3.

After leaving Feyenoord, Arne Slot led Liverpool to an extremely impressive performance highlighted by winning the 2024/25 Premier League title. Currently, Liverpool have also started very well with two consecutive wins. Recently, Feyenoord’s current coach, Robin van Persie, praised his fellow Dutchman Slot for the flexible tactics and excellent football style he brought to Liverpool.

In fact, the former Manchester United star also stated that Liverpool is now playing the best football in the world. Specifically, Van Persie expressed his views as follows: "Liverpool’s style of play represents the highest level of football.

All fans love attacking football, and teams want to entertain supporters with exciting football. But that is not always possible. What I admire about Liverpool is that their ideas form a solid foundation for every match.

Liverpool remain consistent in every game, from start to finish. Like the recent match at Newcastle, that’s the ideal football you want to see both as a coach and a fan.

There are very few matches where we see every element executed perfectly. Many coaches are good, but how many regularly achieve 3-0 or 4-0 victories? In the Premier League, player quality is very high, and the gap between teams isn’t always significant."

Furthermore, Van Persie also praised Liverpool’s current team spirit: "Slot has excellent players at Liverpool who fit his philosophy. But what I love about this Liverpool squad is their spirit, attitude, and willingness to fight for each other. Everyone battles for every inch on the pitch. Players are ready to run across the field to cover teammates and support defense with maximum effort. That’s how you hold firm in a match and win.

These are the core principles in the team that Slot has built. Every player is willing to follow these rules, and that’s why Slot can win matches. The upcoming clash against Arsenal will be very different and intense but won’t decide the title race. Arsenal have changed a lot. For me, this will be an exciting and unpredictable game. Perhaps a draw would be the best outcome for both."
