Form: Arsenal lead the chase, Liverpool are climbing

Arsenal come in as reigning champions and sit second in the table. Their only league defeat so far came away at Brighton, who won 3-0. Last weekend they beat Everton 2-0, with both goals coming from centre-backs.

Liverpool have recovered from a shaky start under Andoni Iraola. Recent wins came against Brighton, Villarreal and Brentford, and the Reds are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions. They still sit a few points behind Arsenal, so a win here would narrow the gap considerably.

Head-to-head: tight games and few clear winners

In the last five meetings, the sides have drawn three times. The results were 0-0 at the Emirates (8 January 2026), 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield (31 August 2025), 2-2 at Anfield (11 May 2025), 2-2 at the Emirates (27 October 2024) and 3-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates (4 February 2024).

Both teams scored in three of those five games. Arsenal also have not won a Premier League match at Anfield since 2012/13, a record that weighs on visiting minds.

Team news: Liverpool missing key players, Arsenal without Saka and Saliba

Liverpool are without Hugo Ekitiké, who is recovering from an Achilles tendon problem, plus Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, who are both sidelined with knee injuries. Jeremie Frimpong is also out. Dominik Szoboszlai and Víctor Muñoz are doubtful, while Florian Wirtz has recovered from an ankle knock.

Arsenal lose Bukayo Saka to a muscle injury, William Saliba with a back problem and Christos Tzolis to a hamstring injury. Max Dowman is suspended. Riccardo Calafiori and Noni Madueke are doubtful, and sources disagree on Declan Rice, so check the official lineups before you bet.

What to expect and why we like Both teams to score

The Opta supercomputer makes Arsenal slight favourites at around 42%, with Liverpool at about 33% and a draw at roughly 26%. That points to a finely balanced game, and the odds should reflect it.

The strongest argument against our pick is Arsenal's defensive solidity, as they are well organised and dangerous at set pieces. Still, Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in their last six Premier League matches, and Alexander Isak is in strong form. Three of Liverpool's last five Premier League goals against Arsenal came from set pieces.

Our prediction

Our pick is Both teams to score at 1.67. Both sides have found the net in three of the last five meetings, Liverpool have attackers capable of causing damage, and Saka's absence may limit the visitors' attack. The main risk is an Arsenal clean sheet, so we recommend modest stakes. Odds move with late team news, so check them close to kick-off. Bet responsibly; no result is guaranteed.
