Arsenal vs Liverpool Predictions

• Liverpool have won four of their last five competitive games.
• Arsenal have only won three of their last nine.
• Liverpool have scored exactly twice in four of their last seven away games.

Reds hope to consolidate top spot

Liverpool knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup last month and can claim another huge result in a bid to further strengthen their Premier League title challenge.

The Reds, who were left reeling last week by the announcement that Jurgen Klopp will leave the club at the end of the season, thrashed Chelsea in midweek to make it 11 games without defeat.

Eight of these games have ended in victory and they have won five of their last eight competitive away games, with their only defeat in this period being a heavily-rotated side that visited Union St-Gilloise in the Europa League.

Gunners look to close gap

Arsenal also enjoyed success in midweek as they broke down a stubborn Nottingham Forest side but it has not all been plain sailing for Mikel Arteta’s side recently.

They have won just three of their last nine in all competitions and have lost two of their last three at home, including that defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Back the underdogs for victory

The visitors are priced as underdogs for this tie and I think they are well worth backing given their recent form, and a repeat of their 2-0 cup triumph could be in store, too.

Liverpool have scored exactly twice in four of their last seven away games and three of these have been 2-0 wins, while both of Arsenal’s recent home losses have been 2-0 scorelines.

Diogo Jota is worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market. The Portugal international scored against Chelsea in midweek and now has four goals and one assist in his last three starts.
