How Arsenal’s ghost runners will HAUNT Virgil van Dijk in Halloween clash at Liverpool

Dean Scoggins argues that Arsenal can beat Liverpool at Anfield by exploiting transitional phases and overwhelming defender Virgil van Dijk. According to Scoggins' tactical analysis, Arsenal should deploy "ghost runners" from midfield, such as Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, to run behind Liverpool's midfield pairing of Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.

The piece highlights key individual matchups, suggesting Odegaard can exploit man-to-man midfield spaces while Riccardo Calafiori tests Bradley Barcola out wide. Scoggins contends these specific tactical approaches offer Mikel Arteta's side their best path toward securing Arsenal's first away Premier League victory at Liverpool since 2012.
