Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Reds Will Hold Gunners Scoreless for 3rd Straight Match

Arsenal has yet to score a goal this year, but don't expect that to change after their match with Liverpool.

After their first two matches of the year, both draws, the Gunners have yet to find the back of the net, something that must be dejecting at the start of a new season.

One of the causes of this goalless streak has been the Gunners poor accuracy with putting shots on net.

According to James Burford of Goal.com, Arsenal has the worst shooting percentage thus far, shooting at a dismal 19 percent. Their opponents in this match, Liverpool, come in a close second with a 24 percent success rate at putting the ball on net.

If the Gunners can't pick that percentage up, they can expect their scoring issues to continue well into the season.

Liverpool's defense has also seen some improvement in the short time they've been on the field this season.

After being lit up for three goals in their season-opener, Liverpool's defense has rebounded nicely.

A strong showing against a tough club like Manchester City saw the Reds surrender two goals in the match. But not only did they allow fewer scores, the Reds also looked much stronger and more cohesive.

It looks like Liverpool's defense is ready to put up a tough fight and should be able to defend much better against the weakest offensive team they've played so far in Arsenal.

The Reds first two matches were against City and before that, West Bromwich Albion. Both squads have scored a combined total of 14 goals in six total matches and are two of the highest scoring clubs in 2012.

While their defense has been stellar not having allowed a goal until this point, it's the Gunners offense that hasn't shown much this year and have yet to show any signs that the scoring struggles are coming to an end.

This match has scoreless tie written all over it, which is a result the Gunners are quickly getting used to.
