Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-02-03 16:30.
[p]A game with massive implications on this season’s Premier League title race is set to take place on Sunday, when third-place Arsenal host league leaders Liverpool with just five points separating the two. Arsenal won this fixture 3-2 last season, but Liverpool fired back with a 2-0 FA Cup win on this ground in January, and with the reverse fixture being drawn 1-1 at Anfield, who knows what the 200th league meeting between these two English giants has in store now![/p]
[p]On the cards could be another fast start by Arsenal, who have opened the scoring within ten minutes in the last three top-flight H2Hs. A Liverpool response would be the next obvious prediction, with their fighting spirit being the reason they’re atop the pile since no side has won more points from losing positions this season than Jürgen Klopp’s men with 19.[/p]
[p]Their confidence levels may also be likened since both these sides won their midweek fixtures, with Arsenal beating Nottingham Forest 2-1 and Liverpool dispatching Chelsea 4-1. Home ground advantage may prove pivotal for the Gunners after producing a five-star performance in their 5-0 win over Crystal Palace last time out at the Emirates, although Klopp’s troops almost matched that scoreline in their last away league match, a 4-0 romping of in-form Bournemouth. [/p]
[p]Perhaps Mikel Arteta’s defensive tactics could prove the difference, seeing as they’ve kept a clean sheet in six of their last ten home games, starting with a shutout against Manchester City. The Reds will prove the toughest of tests though, as scoring in 16 consecutive league H2Hs means no side has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than Liverpool’s 108.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gabriel Jesus might assist Arsenal with another fast start, since five of his six goals against the Reds have come before half-time. Storming the other end of the pitch could be Liverpool’s Diogo Jota, whose ten direct goal contributions against Arsenal (G8, A2) is more than against any other team in his career.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Liverpool have lost just one of their last 19 domestic away matches (W11, D7).[/p]
