Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview
Recent results
Since losing 2-1 at Aston Villa, Arsenal have won five straight Premier League matches, recently getting revenge on Villa with a 4-1 win at the Emirates, and then beating Bournemouth 3-2 away from home last weekend. Arteta’s side are yet to lose on home soil this term.
After three straight wins over Brighton (2-0), Tottenham (1-2) and Wolves (2-1), Liverpool are two without a victory in the top flight following disappointing draws with Leeds (0-0) and Fulham (2-2). Harrison Reed’s stunning and dramatic equaliser at Craven Cottage just about summed up the Reds’ campaign thus far.
Head-to-head record
Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield earlier in the season courtesy of Dominik Szoboszlai’s outrageous free-kick.
Thanks to that result, the Gunners have won just one of the previous seven vs the Reds across all competitions. However, Liverpool’s last top-flight win at the Emirates was a while back in March 2022, with Roberto Firmino on the scoresheet that day.
Team news
For the first time all season, Arsenal have a fairly clean bill of health. Riccardo Calafiori, Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman are the only known absentees for this fixture.
But things are not looking as rosy for Liverpool, who are sweating on the fitness of Hugo Ekitike after the Frenchman missed the trip to Fulham. Alexander Isak’s long-term injury only adds to Slot’s headaches in the attacking department, as does Mohamed Salah’s participation at AFCON.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Arsenal are heavily backed to pick up another win at the Emirates, priced at just 1.60. A Liverpool victory is at odds of 5.20, while the draw is 4.10.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 2.70
The last three matches between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates have been goal-filled affairs. Wins for the Gunners in 2022-23 (3-2) and 2023-24 (3-1) were followed by last season’s thrilling 2-2 draw. With Arsenal averaging 2.6 goals per home game this season, and Liverpool struggling a tad from a defensive standpoint, we fancy another high-scoring contest here.
Player to score or assist – Declan Rice @ 2.85
Rice has really upped his game in the final third, evidenced by his match-winning brace at Bournemouth. The England star now has three goals and four assists in Premier League action, and his renowned set-piece deliveries only make the price here look even more appealing – especially now that aerial monster Gabriel Magalhaes is back!
Player to score or assist – Leandro Trossard @ 1.82
Trossard leads the way for Arsenal in terms of Premier League goal contributions this season with nine (five goals, four assists). The Belgian is arguably in the best form of his career, and he likes playing against Liverpool. Trossard has six goals and two assists from 12 previous top-flight appearances vs the Merseyside outfit, hence why we are backing him to display his big-game genes once again on Thursday.
