Liverpool vs Arsenal Predictions

• Arsenal won the reverse fixture 3-2.
• The Gunners have won their last seven league games.
• Liverpool are winless in four and have scored just one goal during that run.

Arsenal looking to maintain title lead

Arsenal hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table ahead of this weekend’s fixtures but there is a good chance that will have been cut down to five by the time they arrive at Anfield on Sunday.

Manchester City head to bottom club Southampton in the late game on Saturday, so barring an upset the Gunners will need three points at Liverpool to keep their advantage.

The hosts had threatened to fight their way back into top four contention not too long ago but a return of just one point from their last three games suggests they may miss out on European qualification altogether this season.

Arsenal can claim rare Anfield win

Arsenal have a terrible record at Anfield and haven’t managed a win at this ground since 2012, but Sunday’s fixture looks like a real opportunity to end that barren streak given the two sides’ respective form.

The Gunners have won their last seven games in the league and are in devastating form in front of goal, having won four of their last five by at least three-goal margins.

After their astonishing 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United, Liverpool’s form has nosedived and they have managed just one point and one goal in their last three league games, losing 1-0 at Real Madrid to complete a 6-2 aggregate Champions League defeat during that period.

With Arsenal looking to maintain their lead at the top and Liverpool looking low on confidence, the odds against price on a win for the visitors has to be our main bet.

Chance for Arsenal to make a statement

Arsenal won the first meeting 3-2 in North London in October but they may enjoy a more comfortable afternoon on Sunday.

Liverpool look incredibly easy to score against at times and there have been a few occasions where one goal has opened the floodgates, such as the recent 4-1 defeat to City, the 5-2 loss at home to Real in Europe and a humbling 3-0 loss at Wolves.

Arsenal’s last two away wins have been accompanied by clean sheets and as Liverpool have managed just one goal across their last four games a 3-0 win for the visitors appeals as the correct score selection.

Gabriel Jesus scored his first goals since a lengthy spell on the sidelines in the 4-1 win over Leeds last time out and will be on spot-kick duties for Arsenal, so he looks a good contender for a goal at anytime and Leandro Trossard is an assist contender if you are planning a bet builder for Sunday’s standout game.
