Arsenal vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2026-01-07 20:00.
[p]Current Premier League leaders and title favourites Arsenal can make another bold statement here as they welcome defending champions Liverpool to the Emirates Stadium.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Mikel Arteta’s team are firing on all cylinders, with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Bournemouth stretching their winning streak to seven matches across all competitions, with five of those coming in the Premier League to put them six points clear at the summit pre-round. A return of 14 wins from 15 home games this term in all competitions (D1), including each of the last 12, means that Mikel Arteta’s men will be full of confidence of at least preserving their margin. Arsenal have also won their last two home league games against the reigning champions, but haven’t done so in three successive seasons since the 1960s![/p]
[p]Another visit to the capital awaits Liverpool, who left disappointed at the weekend after conceding a goal of the season contender in the 97th minute to be held to a 2-2 draw against Fulham. Arne Slot’s men may not yet be firing on all cylinders, but a nine-game unbeaten streak (W5, D4) highlights that they’re increasingly difficult to beat, with five of those outings coming on the road (W3, D2). The Reds start the round in the top four as a result, and with two away wins in London in their last three visits (D1), they can’t be overlooked in this blockbuster clash. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]No side in Premier League history boast more wins over Arsenal than Liverpool (26). The Reds are chasing an eighth Premier League double over Arsenal after their 1-0 win in August, while they’ve lost just two of the last 13 H2Hs in all competitions (W6, D5).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Nine of Arsenal’s last 11 domestic games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Arsenal’s last four home matches saw more goals in the second half than the first.[/p]
[p]Liverpool have gone into half-time behind just once in their last ten fixtures.[/p]
[p]Seven of Liverpool’s last nine away matches produced over 2.5 goals. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]With nine of his last 11 Premier League goals coming at home, Bukayo Saka is primed to have an impact here having scored his last three home league games against Liverpool (G4) – no Arsenal player has ever netted in four consecutive home league meetings with the Reds. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo’s three away league goals this term have all been against London clubs. [/p]
[p]Arsenal seem to have no new injury concerns, while Liverpool will be sweating on the fitness of Hugo Ekitike, who missed their match against Fulham.[/p]
