Head-to-Head
Last season’s EPL results in this fixture were high-scoring. Arsenal managed to pick up a 3-2 win at the Emirates as Bukayo Saka got on the scoresheet twice. In the reverse fixture, Arsenal took a 2-0 lead at Anfield, looking for their first road win over Liverpool since 2012. However, goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino meant the match finished in a 2-2 draw. It was the first time in their last seven EPL matches at Anfield that Arsenal didn’t lose. Based on 90-minute results, Liverpool have lost just one of the previous ten meetings, in all competitions.
Liverpool Destroy West Ham on Wednesday
Liverpool dominated West Ham from start to finish in Wednesday’s EFL Cup Quarter-finals showdown. Dominik Szoboszlai opened up the scoring with a scintillating long range strike in the 28th minute and Liverpool didn’t look back. Curtis Jones doubled the Reds’ lead in the second half, and Cody Gakpo made it 3-0. Jarrod Bowen got a consolation goal for West Ham before Mo Salah and Jones got on the scoresheet to make it 5-1 Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s side outshot West Ham 29-2, and it was a much-needed confidence boost after last weekend’s scoreless draw vs. Manchester United. Now, the Liverpool vs Arsenal Premier League odds price the hosts as +140 favorites for Saturday’s match. Liverpool are an unbeaten 7-1-0 at home in the Premier League this season and Anfield is known as one of the most challenging places to play in England. Over the last two-and-a-half seasons, the Reds have just one EPL loss at home.
The EPL scores and odds currently price Liverpool at +275 to win the title, behind only Man City and Arsenal. Klopp is still dealing with a few injuries, as Joel Matip and Andy Robertson are out long term. Diogo Jota, Thiago, Stefan Bajcetic and Alexis Mac Allister will all likely miss this match as well. Meanwhile, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch could be fit in time for Saturday’s showdown vs. Arsenal.
Arsenal Back on Top of EPL
A couple of weekends ago, Arsenal lost for just the second time in the Premier League this season as they fell 1-0 on the road at Aston Villa. The Gunners created chances, but their finishing was subpar in the match. Last Tuesday, Mikel Arteta gave some of his best players a rest as Arsenal drew 1-1 at PSV in their Champions League group stage finale. The Gunners finished on top of their group and will take on Porto in the round of 16.
Then, on Sunday, Arsenal became the first team to keep a shutout vs. Brighton this season. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz got on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win, which vaulted Arsenal back on top of the Premier League table. Currently, the EPL odds price Arsenal at +250 to win their first title for 20 years. Arsenal’s attack has been balanced this season, as seven players have at least three Premier League goals.
Arteta is dealing with injury problems to his squad at the moment. Jorginho, Fabio Vieira, Mohamed Elneny, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber could all miss Saturday’s match. Of those six, only Tomiyasu and Partey are regular starters. With Partey missing so much time this season, Arteta’s preferred midfield three has become Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz.
Match Analysis & Odds
Although Liverpool have an incredible Premier League home record in recent seasons, anything can happen in this one. Arsenal did take a two-goal lead at Anfield last season before the Reds came storming back to snatch a draw. Here, the Liverpool vs. Arsenal Premier League odds list Klopp’s side as +140 favorites.
Arsenal are not far behind, at +180, and they’ve certainly meant business this season. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are tied for the joint-best defensive record in the league, as they’ve allowed 15 goals apiece in 17 matches. Here, over 2.5, 3 goals display -115 odds as both sides also boast superb front lines. Expect the trio of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka to start for Arsenal, while Liverpool could trot out Luis Diaz, Darwin Nuñez and Salah.
In this pick’em, bettors can take Liverpool pk at -130 odds and Arsenal pk at +110. Mikel Arteta is yet to win at Anfield as Arsenal manager but this might be his best chance yet. It would also be a statement win for the Gunners as they look to take control in the title race. Liverpool are not currently at full strength in midfield, and that could hurt them a bit on Saturday, in what could be an even match. Punters not willing to commit to either side may consider betting on a draw, at +265. In this high stakes match, whoever comes out on top will also have the reward of topping the EPL table, for the time being.
