Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tips

An incredibly young Liverpool squad were held by Exeter in the FA Cup on Friday evening, a result which makes it three wins, a defeat, and a draw in their last five matches in all competitions.

However, their two recent losses against West Ham and Watford highlight some potentially disastrous defensive vulnerabilities. It seems Jurgen Klopp’s side simply can’t deal with powerful and adventurous attacking sides, as shown by Deeney, Ighalo, and Carroll’s dominance over them.

This obviously isn’t helped by a host of injuries. Liverpool are without Martin Skrtel, Dejan Lovren, Phillipe Coutinho, Daniel Sturridge, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Jordan Henderson, Jordan Rossiter, and Divock Origi are all going to miss this game.

Arsenal will have to make do without long term absentees Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere, Francis Coquelin, Alexis Sanchez, and Tomas Rosicky, although they have managed just fine without them so far.

The visitors excellent form has taken them to the top of the Premier League table, and they come into this game with a two point lead over Leicester in 2^nd.

Arsenal have won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions and have only lost once in their last ten outings.

The visitors will also take heart from the fact that they have only lost to Liverpool once in their last nine meetings with the Anfield outfit. Five of these nine games have ended in victory for the Gunners as well.

With both form and history on their side, I feel that Arsenal will bring a lot of confidence to the table on Wednesday. I’m expecting this to show as well, and Mesut Ozil could have a field day against such a weakened Liverpool back line.

This makes odds of 1.875 for an Arsenal 0.0 Asian Handicap win look really good value considering their excellent performances of late. I’m also going for a 3-1 correct score prediction at 20/1.
