What's wrong with Kai Havertz and can he fix it in time for Liverpool vs. Arsenal showdown
Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readArsenal desperately need a decisive finisher at Anfield, but their versatile striker enters Sunday's massive test against Liverpool mired in a sharp dip in form and a baffling offside trend

From the source
If last season's visit to Anfield taught Arsenal anything, it was the need for a killer in the final third to break the game open.
Fail to do so and they are vulnerable to the sort of magic that bamboozled them in August of last year, even if the man who scored that brilliant free-kick winner, Dominik Szoboszlai, is a doubt for Liverpool on Sunday.
And if this game is indeed one that will be decided by what Mikel Arteta terms the "moments players," then it could scarcely have come at a worse time for the Arsenal manager.
