Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is gearing up to face Liverpool’s new boss Arne Slot in what promises to be an intriguing preseason clash. This encounter will offer the Dutchman his first experience against Premier League competition, setting the stage for an exciting showdown in the United States.
Arteta has emphasized the unique challenges this match presents, highlighting the opportunity for both teams to test their strategies and build momentum ahead of the upcoming season.
He stated: “It’s another great test. We’re in a different city, there’s jetlag and we have to adapt to that. It’s a different pitch, different stadium and weather conditions.
“It’s all great, and we’re against a team with a new manager that I really like, especially the way he plays. It is going to be really tough and will be a good test as well.”
On Slot, he added: “I don’t know him personally but I watched him with his past team. First of all, I like him a lot as a person and the way he comes across.
“I’ve heard very good things from players who are probably the best ones to ask, and I’m really impressed with the way he sets out his teams and the clarity and the quality that they show, so it’s going to be a really good game.”
