Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview and Team News
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool and Arsenal are set for one of the most exciting Premier League clashes in recent memory on Sunday at Anfield. With their 3-2 victory over Newcastle United giving them a lot of confidence to make comebacks from dire situations, the defending champions know exactly how to treat the Gunners, who are expected to be their closest challengers this campaign.
For Arne Slot’s men, this fixture will be akin to a final in the UEFA Champions League, and none of them will be found wanting in their desire to do well. Jeremie Frimpong and Stefan Bajcetic have been ruled out with injuries, and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is a doubtful starter after picking up a knock.

Apart from these three absentees, Slot will have his entire squad to choose from and should send out his best playing XI. Liverpool are lethal on the flanks, and with the presence of Egyptian Mohamed Salah on the right-hand side, things could hardly have been better.
Cody Gakpo, on the opposite wing, is another player to keep an eye out for. He earned Player of the Match honors against Newcastle United and, interestingly, was also the most fouled player in that game (four times).
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, Konate, van Dijk, Bradley; Jones, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Wirtz, Salah; Ekitike.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal, who have finished second in the last three Premier League seasons, will be frustrated beyond measure if they fail to go one better this time around. For Mikel Arteta’s side, a fluid display in the attacking third should be enough to dismantle the Liverpool defense, but things are rarely as simple as that in soccer.
What plays to the Gunners’ advantage is their blistering pace on the break. They have yet to miss out on easy goalscoring opportunities when they arise (by a large percentage, if not fully) in the final third. Moreover, Arsenal’s defenders have been in prime form this season, keeping clean sheets in both of their matches so far.

Liverpool haven’t been as fortunate, which has left them sitting below Arteta’s men in the league table on goal difference.
Currently, Arsenal are the leaders of the standings, followed by Tottenham Hotspur in second and the Reds in third. All three clubs have garnered six points so far.
The visitors have several injuries in their squad, including that of Bukayo Saka, who pulled his hamstring in their 5-0 win over Leeds United. Captain Martin Odegaard, too, limped off in that game and may be a doubtful starter here. Ben White, Christian Norgaard, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus are some of the other absentees for the Gunners.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Raya; Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Dowman; Trossard, Gyokeres, Madueke.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to win or draw
- Odds: -323 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal
Liverpool hold the slightest of advantages over their opponents heading into this game, and we expect them to either win or at least avoid defeat.
Their attacking unit has received a massive boost with the acquisition of French attacker Hugo Ekitike, who joins Salah and Gakpo in what could be the most formidable front-three in the Premier League.

Arsenal’s defense, meanwhile, remains unbroken, and if one were to put their money on it, there is no better side than Liverpool to break the jinx and show Arteta’s wards the ways of the defending champions.
Another new signing, Florian Wirtz, who typically operates in the number 10 position as a central attacking midfielder, is a vital addition to Slot’s squad, given his exceptional vision when picking passes and playing weighted balls in the final third.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1 goal in the first half
- Odds: -143 (20Bet)
We anticipate a lively opening and more than one goal in the first half. Both teams are known for their attacking potential, and there should be plenty of end-to-end action. For Liverpool, the trio of Salah, Gakpo, and Ekitike is expected to pose a constant threat. In contrast, Arsenal will likely rely on newly signed striker Victor Gyokeres to be their flagbearer in the final third.
The absence of Saka is bound to hamper the Gunners’ chances and give the Reds the upper hand. However, the presence of Noni Madueke and Leandro Trossard should provide some reassurance to the traveling supporters.
