Liverpool v Arsenal: Betting Preview

Arsenal head North to Anfield for probably the best match of this weekends Premier League action, where they face Liverpool in Saturday’s highly anticipated match.

Both teams come into this clash with a 100% record so far this season (the only 2 teams to have won all their games), but it's Liverpool who are the favourites to win the match.

It’s no surprise that online bookmakers see the home side winning given Liverpool’s recent performances, and especially since they haven’t lost to Arsenal since April 2015.

All 3 players that shared the Golden Boot last season will also be in the line up, with Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all scoring 22 goals.

Liverpool also have a much better track record when playing Arsenal, winning 4 of the last 8 Premier League encounters, while the other 4 have ended in draws.

Although Arsenal took points from Liverpool in their opening match last season, The Reds went on to thrash The Gunners with a 5-1 scoreline in their last meeting back in December.

Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for a similar result on Saturday, while Unai Emery will hoping that Arsenal can record the first victory of the Northern rivals in 4 years.

It will be a massive challenge for Arsenal to beat a side that finished 27 ahead points ahead of them last season, so they'll be looking to come away from Anfield with at least 1 point.

In the lead up to Liverpool v Arsenal, we've taken a look at both team’s recent performances, and any player injuries that could affect either managers match preparations.

Liverpool: Team News

Liverpool have had a fantastic start to their 2019/20 Premier League season, and currently sit at the top of the table with 6 points, just ahead of Arsenal on goal difference.

An 4-1 win over Norwich at home secured all 3 points on the opening day of the season, and Klopp’s men then went on to record a 2-1 away victory over Southampton in their last outing.

It’s no surprise that Liverpool are expected to beat Arsenal on Saturday, and Klopp’s side have been playing phenomenal football for quite some time now.

Salah and Mane usually set a pace that Arsenal consistently struggle to keep up with, while Firmino has been a huge challenge for Arsenal in his last four Premier League matches.

If Liverpool can continue to play as well as they have been, they should walk away with all 3 points and be the only Premier League team with a 100% winning record.

Luckily Klopp doesn’t have any major injury worries to deal with, as only Keita, Clyne and Becker doubtful of making the side that will face Arsenal on Saturday evening.

With pretty much a full squad to choose from, it will be interesting to see how many goals Liverpool can actually score on the day against an Arsenal side light in defence.

Liverpool: Form

Looking at the last 5 fixtures that Liverpool have played in all competitions, they've won 3 and drawn 2 scoring a total of 12 goals (2.4 goals per game) and conceding 6 times.

Arsenal: Team News

Just like Liverpool, Arsenal have also had a strong start to their Premier League campaign, but that winning run could easily end on Saturday evening at Anfield.

The Gunners kicked off their season with a 1-0 victory against Newcastle, and then went on to take a 2-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.

This will be an entirely different type of match, and beating the current European Champions at home, something Arsenal haven’t achieved since 2012, is an almighty ask!

There’s no doubt that Emery will be dreading a fixture against such as strong team this early in the season, especially since Arsenal haven’t dropped any points yet.

The Gunners will be aiming for a top 4 finish this season, and even avoiding a loos, and getting a draw against Liverpool away at Anfield would be a huge result.

Arsenal have some fantastic players in their squad, and if they can improve their defence, and create scoring opportunities, they may just give Liverpool a run for their money.

Luckily Arsenal don’t have any major injury worries ahead of the Liverpool match.

Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka are due back in the line up, however Emery will still be without Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and new signing from Celtic; Kieran Tierney.

Arsenal: Form

Arsenal's record over their last 5 matches in all competitions is won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2. They've scored less goals than Liverpool, 6 in total (1.2 per game) but conceded the same (6).
