Arsenal are now four points off the pace after their defeat at the Vitality Stadium last weekend. William Saliba’s red card meant it was an uphill struggle for the London side who now have to face table-topping Liverpool without their French defender. However, the bookies do have them as favourites for the victory.
Much will depend on the fitness of Bukayo Saka although the Gunners continue to plough on without captain Martin Odegaard and perhaps this is an opportunity for Liverpool to claim three points from an important fixture. Mohamed Salah was on form to overcome former club Chelsea last weekend as the Reds claimed a 2-1 win.
The Egyptian king could give the Arsenal defence a few problems and we might see Darwin Nunez continue in the central striker role after Diogo Jota sustained an injury last weekend. The bookies are leaning towards this clash featuring both teams to score although it’s worth noting that Liverpool have been tight defensively this term.
In their four away games, the visitors have conceded just once and they are certainly looking watertight at the moment, although Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli have the ability to stretch them and the return of Saka could also help matters. Even so, the best bet could be Liverpool on either the Double Chance market with the draw or alternatively Draw No Bet.
