Liverpool v Arsenal Preview

Liverpool’s Form

Liverpool’s 0-0 draw against Man United at Anfield last weekend means they relinquished the top spot in the table and trail their opponents on Saturday by 1 point heading into the game. The Reds have earned 11 points from their last 5 league games courtesy of 3 wins and 2 draws.

Their last outing came midweek in the EFL Cup Quarter-Final where they hammered West Ham 5-1 to book their place in the Semi-Final. It was no more than they deserved with 67% of possession and 29 shots to their opponents 2. It seems they’ve found their shooting boots again following their dismal finishing against Man United last weekend.

Liverpool are the third-highest scorers in the league with 36 goals. That total puts them behind only Man City (40) and Aston Villa (37).

Jurgen Klopp’s side also have the joint best defence along with Arsenal with 15 goals conceded. Despite being 2nd in the table with 38 points their Expected Points Total has them third on 32.45 points behind Man City's 35.85 and Arsenal's 34.41.

Scoring Patterns

The end of the game could be chaotic with Liverpool scoring 13 goals and conceding 4 in the last fifteen minutes in games this season.

The final 15 minutes is also the most busy period in Arsenal matches with 11 goals scored and 3 conceded in the same time frame.

Key Players To Watch

Moh Salah – Liverpool

The “Egyptian King” has made rubbish of any claims that he might be slowing down this season with 15 Goals and 8 Assists from 24 Matches in all competitions. 11 of those goals and 7 of those assists have come in the Premier League.

Salah was rested in the EFL Cup against West Ham but came on in the 60th minute and grabbed himself a goal in the 82nd minute in their 5-1 victory. A bonafide match-winner and big game player who will be hungry for a goal after being held scoreless against Man United last weekend.

Bukayo Saka – Arsenal

The World Class Arsenal winger Saka (22) is one of the best players, if not the best, in the Premier League right now.

This season Saka has 4 MOTM Awards, 8 goals and 12 assists from 23 games in all competitions. That includes 5 goals and 7 assists in 16 games in the Premier League.

Liverpool v Arsenal Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal

Liverpool will want to put their scoreless draw at Anfield behind them last weekend against Man United and following their 5-1 victory against West Ham midweek you’d suspect they will get on the scoresheet this time around. Klopp’s side know victory would put them top at Christmas and in pole position to win another league.

Arsenal quietly went about their business last weekend, beating potential banana skin Brighton 2-0. They were top at Christmas last year and know victory would ensure they repeat that feat.

Contrary to what the statistics would have you believe I think a high-scoring draw could be on the cards here.

Best Bet: Draw + Under 4.5 Goals @ 11/4
