Mikel Merino, replacing the injured Odegaard, played well but lacked Odegaard’s attacking spark. Merino acknowledged Arsenal’s need for aggression but cited Liverpool’s counter-attacking threat and the need to adapt. He emphasized squad depth and preparedness despite key injuries. Sky Sports, meanwhile, announced a reduced price for its 2025/26 football package.
