Liverpool vs Arsenal Preview & Prediction
Arsenal face their toughest challenge yet on Saturday as they travel to Liverpool in a potentially pivotal fixture in terms of the Premier League title race.
Currently, Mikel Arteta’s side hold a one-point lead over their Merseyside counterparts. However, Aston Villa are also in close proximity and will be looking to capitalise on any dropped points.
Manchester United tactically frustrated Liverpool last weekend, securing a point despite facing 34 shots—Liverpool’s highest shot count in a Premier League game without scoring since 2003.
Liverpool rebounded with a 5-1 win against West Ham in the EFL Cup, but Klopp expressed disappointment in Anfield’s atmosphere, urging fan support to avoid consecutive scoreless home games.
Arsenal reclaimed the Premier League’s top spot with a win against Brighton, overcoming a first-half struggle. Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz sealed the victory, as the Gunners aim to hold the top spot at Christmas for a second consecutive year.
On Saturday, Arteta’s side will be looking to avoid back-to-back away losses since May 2022 and seek to break a winless streak at Anfield dating back to 2012.
Prediction: Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal

Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tips
- Arsenal to win @ 19/10
- Darwin Nunez to be carded @ 18/5
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 9/1
Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tip 1: Arsenal to win @ 19/10
Boasting a 75% win rate when starting together, the defensive partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes is pivotal to Arsenal’s title bid. This was evident in the recent 2-0 win over Brighton, where they stifled Roberto De Zerbi’s side, ending their 32-game scoring streak.
The Gunners have a joint-best defensive record in the league with Liverpool and Newcastle, but their underlying metrics are even more impressive. Arteta’s side have allowed just 13.03 expected goals against and 11.85 expected goals on target.
As Arsenal prepare to face Liverpool, their solid defensive setup poses a challenge, potentially allowing them to assert dominance in the title race, which UK bookmakers currently price them at 5/2 to go all the way.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tip 2: Darwin Nunez to be carded @ 18/5
Despite a promising start, Darwin Nunez’s season has taken a frustrating turn. Since his match-winning brace against Newcastle in August, he has scored just two league goals.
Across all competitions, his goal drought has extended to 718 minutes, following the frustrating draw with Man United and the league cup triumph over West Ham.
His frustration in front of goal has seeped into his off-ball play, picking up yellow cards in back-to-back games now. The price of 18/5 for the Uruguayan to be booked again appeals.
