Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview and Team News
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal are the leaders of the Premier League. They have 48 points and look unlikely to be challenged by any other side unless their performances drop significantly.
This season, Mikel Arteta’s men have conceded just 14 goals while scoring 40, which is quite a commendable achievement. They’ve netted 11 goals in their last five outings, three of which came against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday. Declan Rice, returning from a minor injury, struck twice and also made 14 vital defensive contributions.
Arsenal’s defense, however, looks shaky: Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori have been ruled out. Max Dowman, too, has picked up an ankle injury, which might hamper the Gunners’ challenge for the title just a little.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Raya; Hincapie, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Trossard, Gyokeres, Saka.
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by 11th-ranked Fulham away from home on Sunday. This prevented Arne Slot’s men from picking up a well-earned victory and solidifying their place in the top four.
Currently, they sit fourth in the table with 34 points, 14 behind league leaders Arsenal. Liverpool have scored eight goals in their last five matches and kept a clean sheet in just two of them. However, there were some positives in their clash against Fulham, such as their xG of 1.37 and 58% possession.
The Reds will be hurt most by Alexander Isak’s absence due to a broken leg. His fellow striker Hugo Ekitike has also been sidelined with a hamstring issue, leaving manager Slot with very few options to challenge the hosts. Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni, and Stefan Bajcetic have also been ruled out.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, van Dijk, Konate, Bradley; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Jones, Wirtz, Szoboszlai; Gakpo.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction
- Pick: Arsenal to win or draw
- Odds: -588 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal shouldn’t face too many problems. We expect them to either win or draw. In H2H meetings, they’ve avoided defeat against Liverpool in 24 of their last 39. At home, their unbeaten tally reaches 13 in their last 19 games.
The Reds will be hampered by the absence of top attacker Mohamed Salah, who is on AFCON duty, and they’ll also be aware that Arsenal have conceded just five goals at home! Liverpool haven’t been particularly convincing on the road either, winning just four of their 10 away matches.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1 goal in the first half
- Odds: -149 (20Bet)
We expect to see more than one goal in the first half. Both teams have top attacking talent in their ranks. For Arsenal, Leandro Trossard (nine goal involvements) and Bukayo Saka (seven goal involvements) will be the ones to watch out for.
On the other side of the pitch, Cody Gakpo (eight goal involvements) and Ryan Gravenberch (four goals) will take on the mantle for the visiting Reds. Liverpool have conceded 17 goals away from home, which means that Arsenal will be the aggressors here. There should be multiple goals on offer, including more than one in the first half.
