Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly names Liverpool player as the toughest opponent he’s ever faced
Liverpool will face Arsenal on Sunday while the first two of last season again become face to face in the Premier League.
The Gunners have a good recent record against the champions, without being waste against them during each of the last three seasons.
However, Arsenal has not won a championship match in Anfield since 2011, a fact that will undoubtedly linger in the minds of the players when they arrived on the Merseyside.
Liverpool distributed some humils during these years, Mohamed Salah regularly turning into a chief arsenal tormentor.
Salah scored 10 goals against the Gunners in his Liverpool career, and often had nightmares to the one who plays on the left back.
On Sunday, it could be Myles Lewis-Skelly who is responsible for keeping the Egyptian silent. But according to Arsenal’s youngster, it’s easier to say than to do.

Salah did not start the season in the form of the best. Having been silent in the community shield, he could not really enter the match against Bournemouth or Newcastle.
Nevertheless, the 33 -year -old has always been effective, so far claiming an objective and a decisive pass.
Lewis-Skelly already has a first-hand experience in Salah’s magic. And while talking to Sky Sports this weekend, the 18-year-old admitted that the Liverpool superstar had been his most difficult opponent so far.

“Not directly against it, but probably the movement of Mo Salah,” he said, when he was asked who had given him the most time.
“He has an instinct. He knows when to get into the box and things like that, it’s difficult. So, probably him.”
Lewis-Skelly will probably not start on Sunday
Lewis-Skelly had a brilliant year of escape at the Premier League last, but even he had trouble containing Salah.
On Sunday, although Mikel Arteta can start young people, it is more likely that Riccardo Calafiori obtains the head sign.
The Italian has started the two arsenal games so far on the left back, Lewis-Skelly reduced to the role of a replacement.
Salah and Liverpool in general have regularly had joy against Oleksandr Zinchenko to the left of Arsenal’s defense, but with the frozen Ukrainian and seek a movement, there is no chance that he plays this time.
Anyone who is directly against, expect it to be a key figure because Liverpool aims to take what would be a huge three points.
