The bookies are struggling to split Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s Premier League showdown. It’s a massive game in the context of the season, with the Gunners sitting pretty at the top of the table. That is why the money is likely to come for the home side who were superior to Tottenham in last weekend’s North London derby.
Gabriel Jesus was regularly a thorn in the side of Liverpool when the Brazilian operated for Manchester City, with the forward now thriving in this vibrant Arsenal team who tick along nicely thanks to the central midfield pairing of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli’s form has also been strong.
We shouldn’t write Liverpool off despite a relatively poor start to the season, with Klopp’s side dropping no less than eleven points in their first seven games. That is what happens when you only win two matches and even the most optimistic LFC fan might struggle to recommend the visitors to claim the spoils at the Emirates.
Perhaps we look at the Both Teams to Score betting angle for this clash and you could take this bet a step further and back Arsenal to win and BTTS. You can’t get away from that excellent win rate and the 100% record at the Emirates, although the eleven goals scored has been offset by five goals conceded.
