Liverpool vs Arsenal Predictions

• Both teams have scored in the last six meetings
• Arsenal have gained a draw on their last four visits to Anfield
• The Gunners have won just two of their last 15 matches against Liverpool

Gunners could cause plenty of problems

The last day of August seems an incredibly early time to be talking about title deciders, but there looks a strong chance that the winners of Sunday’s game between Liverpool and Arsenal will gain a significant boost in their quest to win this season’s Premier League.

There is plenty at stake, but this is a fixture that rarely disappoints and another thrilling episode looks likely judging by the way these two teams have started the season.

The pair have won both of their opening games, but it is Mikel Arteta’s Gunners who should be heading to Merseyside with a spring in their step following their 5-0 win over Leeds last weekend.

Much of that confidence should be gleaned by the fact Liverpool conceded twice in the Community Sheidl against Crystal palace and then did the same again as they were bailed out by late goals against Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Talented forwards should serve up a treat

The Cherries in particularly enjoyed a strong period in the second half on their trip to Anfield when Antoine Semenyo scored twice, and Arsenal will be delighted that big summer signing Viktor Gyokeres scored twice in the win over Leeds to shake that off his back.

While Liverpool have been continuously linked with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, both Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekiteke, captured from Eintracht Frankfurt, have both looked sharp up top and player-of-the-year Mo Salah is all the mark too.

The quality of the forwards on display, even though Bukayo Saka will not be appearing for the visitors, points to some great entertainment, so correct-score punters may be attracted by a 2-2 draw, which happened on both occasions that the teams met last term.

Calafiori is one to watch

While all eyes will be on the strikers, though, it could pay to take a punt on Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori to find the net.

The Italian has been a handful at set pieces so far this season, scoring the only goal when Arteta’s side won at Old Trafford, and he looks a big price to get on the scoresheet again.
