Liverpool Arsenal prediction 2025-08-31

Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-08-30 15:30.
[p]Matchday three sees last season’s Premier League champions Liverpool host runners-up Arsenal, with both sides putting their perfect start to this campaign on the line.[/p]

[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]

[p]Liverpool began their hunt for back-to-back top-flight titles with entertaining 4-2 and 3-2 wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle respectively, with both matches not short of drama. On each occasion Liverpool had opened up a 2-0 lead before being brought back to 2-2 and needing late heroics to seal all three points. Arne Slot’s Reds would love to strike first again against Arsenal here, not least because finding the back of the net would see them score in a club-record 37th consecutive Premier League game.[/p]

[p]Arsenal stamped their authority on another Premier League title push with clean-sheet wins over Manchester United and Leeds. After being handed a brutal Champions League draw, Mikel Arteta’s men would be keen to make a huge statement with another victory at Anfield, something that would see the Gunners win their first three games of a league campaign for just the second time in the last 20 seasons. Should they keep yet another clean sheet in that process, they would win their first three matches of a new season without conceding a goal for the first time since 1924/25.[/p]

[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]

[p]Liverpool failed to beat Arsenal in each of the last six Premier League H2Hs (D4, L2), but haven’t lost a top-flight game against the Gunners at Anfield since September 2012 (W7, D5 since).[/p]

[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Liverpool scored first in ten of their last 12 matches.[/p]

[p]Ten of Liverpool’s last 13 home league matches saw both teams score and over 2.5 goals.[/p]

[p]Since the start of 2023/24, no team in Europe’s top-five leagues have scored more goals from corners than Arsenal’s 33.[/p]

[p]The same half-time result has been replicated come full-time in four of Arsenal’s last five away matches.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Cody Gakpo will prove dangerous since 13 of his last 15 Liverpool goals have come at Anfield, including the match opener in this fixture last season. New Arsenal signing Eberechi Eze netted the winner away to Liverpool for Crystal Palace in 2023/24, kickstarting a run where he lost just one of his last 17 goalscoring outings at club level (W13, D3).[/p]

[p]Liverpool will continue without Jeremie Frimpong, while Arteta’s headaches run much deeper after captain Martin Ødegaard and starlet Bukayo Saka limped off against Leeds, joining Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz in the treatment room.[/p]
