Although the guests weren’t fairly at their scintillating finest all through the 90 minutes, Arne Slot’s opening report of 11 wins in 12 video games is certainly exceptional.
The Dutchman’s successful streak will certainly be examined additional by a gathering with Arsenal on the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
What do the stats say about Cody Gakpo’s Leipzig displaying?
It’s truthful to say the stats have been very variety to Cody Gakpo – and never undeservedly!
The Dutch worldwide was in sensational type in opposition to Die Roten Bullen. He racked up 4 key passes (finishing 29/34 passes), creating two large probabilities, and finishing 5/8 floor duels. All that in amongst 50 touches taken on the night time.

Will Cody Gakpo begin in opposition to Arsenal?
Contemplate that eventuality extremely unlikely regardless of one other promising outing within the ahead line.
Merely put, the left wing is Luis Diaz’s area till the Colombian begins constantly placing a foot unsuitable. Or, God forbid for Liverpool followers, till the footballer suffers an harm.
That’s no slight on the Dutch worldwide, who has in any other case loved a powerful 2024/25 marketing campaign in flashes.
Cody Gakpo has been our third-strongest participant within the Champions League, in response to stats compiled by Sofascore. On this foundation, it’s truthful to imagine he’ll stay a favoured alternative for Slot in Europe – at the very least till Actual Madrid come knocking at Anfield on the finish of November.
Both approach, he can’t be discounted as a reputable choice within the beginning XI or from the bench if he retains up these sorts of performances.
That stated, it’s arduous to not really feel slightly sorry for the 25-year-old. Particularly given how restricted his recreation time has in any other case been.
