Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-05-10 15:30.
[p]Liverpool’s title-winning celebrations didn’t get off to the brightest of starts, as they suffered just their third defeat of this Premier League campaign with a 3-1 loss away to Chelsea last weekend. That result hardly dampened the celebratory mood on Merseyside, but what did sting was the news that followed with Trent Alexander-Arnold finally putting the rumours to bed after announcing he will be leaving Liverpool in the summer.[/p]
[p]His decision brought a mixed reaction from Reds supporters, but those disheartened by his impending departure would certainly be cheered up if Liverpool secure a tenth consecutive domestic home win. Doing so against second-placed Arsenal would be another show of their dominance this season, but in the midst of a five-game winless streak against the Gunners in the Premier League (D3, L2), victory is far from assured.[/p]
[p]A win for Arsenal would go a long way in securing their third successive runners-up finish in the top flight, while also breaking their Anfield duck where they last won a league game back in 2012 (D4, L7), a match which manager Mikel Arteta started in! Their record at Anfield won’t be at the front of their minds though, as they first have to deal with the heartbreak of losing a thrilling UEFA Champions League semi-final tie 3-1 on aggregate to French champions PSG.[/p]
[p]Sandwiched between their defeats in both legs is a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, with this being just the third time the Gunners have lost three games in a row since Arteta’s appointment in December 2019. The disappointment is compounded when considering they were leading against Bournemouth, taking their tally of dropped points from winning positions this season to 21, their joint-most in a Premier League campaign. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk could become the fourth Dutchman to reach 300 Premier League appearances here. He scored before half-time in the reverse fixture, but his three club goals since arrived on or beyond the 80th minute. Scorer in midweek, Bukayo Saka loves to get involved against Liverpool, scoring four goals and picking up two yellow cards across their previous five league encounters.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: At least two goals have been scored before half-time in each of the last five Premier League H2Hs.[/p]
