This fixture in recent years has been dominated by Liverpool and by quite a margin, last April Liverpool won 3-0 at the Emirates but the feeling is that this year it won’t be the same. You have to go back to September 2020 to see a goal scored by Arsenal in this fixture. This year, Arsenal approach this fixture with renewed confidence after beating local rivals Tottenham 3-1, the perfect way to prepare for this weekend’s fixture. Liverpool on the other hand, played out a draw against Brighton after going 2-0 down in the opening minutes of the game.
The Premier League produces some of the best football moments and this could be a huge moment in either team campaign and ambition going forward. LV BET offers the best odds on the top league around the world, visit our LV BET Sports Blog for weekly betting tips on the biggest games around.
Arsenal
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: W – W – L – W – W
Sitting top of the league is a great achievement for the Gunners after eight games played. The next step is getting points off of the big teams should they want to extend their stay at the top. The young squad of Mikel Arteta will be looking to exploit some weaknesses of Liverpool that have been made visible by Manchester United and more recently Brighton, who managed to net twice without a response in the first half.
It will be a question of who gets the better start this Sunday and also the defensive stability of Arsenal’s back line, who in previous encounters, have proved to be frail. We are pricing Arsenal to score first at 19/20 (1.95), which could send the crowd into overdrive. You can also get Arsenal to score and not concede any goals at 19/4 (5.75).
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Thomas, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli and Jesus.
INJURIES / SUSPENSIONS: Emile Smith Rowe – Groin/Hip/Pelvic injury and Mohamed Elneny – Tigh Injury.
Liverpool
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: D – D – W – W – L
It’s been a patchy start to the season for Jurgen Klopp and his team, which seems to be the trend whenever the German enters the seventh year of managing at a club. From the outside, it seems like the once dependable players are somewhat lacking in form, especially the stalwart Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander Arnold. Both players have looked unsure in their positions, a strange to see from the outside, especially after the prolonged time they have spent looking faultless.
Players are returning from injuries which may make life easier for Klopp, but he’ll still need record-signing Darwin Nunez to start bagging the goals in – as he is looking well off the 80 million pounds mark the Uruguayan commanded. In the Champions League, Klopp enjoyed success fielding his team in a different formation which gave more breathing space and opportunity to Nunez, but he still did not convert his chances.
Despite all the negatives from this season, Liverpool have an amazing fighting spirit and determination to keep working at it until it turns around for them. When you have great talent in and around the team, good things will happen eventually, so improvements are likely to be made to their ninth-place predicament.
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino and Carvalho
INJURIES / SUSPENSIONS: Oxlade Chamberlain – Tigh Injury, Naby Keita – Tigh Injury, Andrew Robertson – Knee Injury, Curtis Jones – Calf/Shin/Heel injury
