Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Arsenal vs Liverpool EPL Prediction

Liverpool have won 95 of their 241 matches against Arsenal since their first meeting in October 1893. More recently, the Reds have been defeated just once in nine matches against their historic rivals, since the Gunners edged a penalty shootout in a League Cup fourth-round game in October 2020.

The Gunners also continue to struggle for fluency this season, while their tally of 45 big chances created this season bettered by Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City, Spurs and Aston Villa. Their average of 29.95 shot-creating actions per 90 is also lower than Liverpool’s (32.90), with Arsenal clearly missing Granit Xhaka’s progressive passing from midfield.

The Reds have also been at their counter-pressing best so far this season, with only Everton having produced more than Liverpool’s 1172 ball recoveries in 2023/24. They’ve also completed 61 tackles in the attacking third, so they’ll look to press Arsenal high and create chances through rapid attacking transitions.

Of course, Arsenal also created plenty of chances in the recent FA Cup tie against the Reds, once again through aggressive counter-pressing. However, Liverpool have far greater options in attack (even in the absence of Salah), while Luiz Diaz could prove key against a Gunners side that often lacks defensive width.

1️⃣ Arsenal Update

Arsenal have now won two games in a row in the Premier League, after a run of just one win in five outings over the festive period. However, they’re still struggling to convert possession (they’ve averaged 60.9% possession per 90 minutes this season) into chances, while they lack the potent and varied goal threat that they had last season. Bukayo Saka is their leading EPL scorer with seven goals in 21 appearances, but Gabriel Jesus has just four (from an xG value of 5.4) and Gabriel Martinelli has also struggled with his end product. This will have to change against a Liverpool side that always gives the opposition chances.

Arsenal are largely at full strength for the visit of Liverpool, although Jurrien Timber remains a long-term absentee with a knee injury. Thomas Partey is also sidelined with a thigh injury, while this game may have come a little too soon for Fabio Viera (groin). Mohamed Elneny may be available after returning from AFCON duty, although Takehiro Tomiyasu remains away with Japan in the AFC Asia Cup.

2️⃣ Liverpool Update

Liverpool’s sole EPL defeat this season came against Spurs, after they’d played for more than 30 minutes with nine men and conceded a 95th-minute own goal. As I’ve touched on, they’ve lost just once in their last 32 Premier League encounters too, so they remain enduringly difficult to beat despite their occasional lapses in defence. The news of Jurgen Klopp’s summer departure may also galvanise the Reds even more, while forwards Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez have all stepped up in the absence of the talismanic Mo Salah.

Both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are back in training, which has come as a huge boost to Liverpool. However, the absence of Salah is a setback, with the prolific forward having injured his hamstring while on international duty at the African Cup of Nations. Wataru Endo is still away with Japan at the AFC Asia Cup too, while the Arsenal game will come too soon for Konstantinos Tsimikas (shoulder). Thiago (groin) and Stefan Bajcetic (unknown) are out until the end of February, while Joel Matip is a long-term absentee having ruptured his ACL.
