Liverpool FC vs Arsenal FC Team News
Liverpool FC Team News
Liverpool have revamped their frontline with several arrivals, including Hugo Ekitike, from Eintracht Frankfurt. The Frenchman has already found the net in a Reds jersey as one of three scorers in their 3-2 win over Newcastle United. Ryan Gravenberch and Rio Ngumoha were the other two. Neither squad could impose control on the pitch.
Somehow, this wasn’t the biggest news between the two clubs. Liverpool remain hopeful that Newcastle striker Alexander Isak will be allowed to leave his current team.
The Merseyside side have already submitted a £110 million offer, which the Magpies rejected. Isak broke his silence earlier this week, citing “broken promises.” Liverpool still believe they can convince Newcastle to complete a deal, although the situation remains tense
The Reds will be without several players against Arsenal, with Jeremie Frimpong, Stefan Bajčetić, and Alexis Mac Allister sidelined due to injuries.
Liverpool FC predicted lineup vs Arsenal FC (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Kerkez, Van Dijk, Konaté, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Wirtz, Salah; Ekitiké.
Arsenal FC Team News
Arsenal, like Liverpool, began their Premier League campaign on a strong note with two victories. After defeating Manchester United 1-0, the Gunners crushed Leeds 5-0. Bukayo Saka scored a goal, followed by braces from Timber and Gyökeres.
However, not all the news is positive at the Emirates. Forward Kai Havertz is set to undergo knee surgery, but he’s not expected to be out for long. He featured in the victory over Man United, but was already sidelined against Leeds.
Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign Piero Hincapié to replace defender Jakub Kiwior, who is rumoured to leave by the end of the week. As of the time of writing, the club have proposed a one-year loan with a mandatory purchase at the end. Leverkusen are said to be considering the offer, although nothing has been made official yet.
The Gunners are still struggling with their players’ fitness, as Martin Ødegaard, Christian Nørgaard, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Ben White all ruled out through injury.
Arsenal FC predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Raya; Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber; Zubimendi, Rice, Merino; Eze, Gyökeres, Madueke.

- Correct score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
Although the last encounter between the two teams was back in May, both squads have undergone significant revamping, particularly in the attacking department. Arsenal will be left without Bukayo Saka, who has led their frontline in recent years. Several other injuries in midfield lead to the conclusion that it will be a difficult match at Anfield.
With two new wingers, the Gunners are still experimenting with different variations. Liverpool, on the other hand, have integrated Ekitike smoothly into their setup. Although Kerkez continues to face challenges as a full-back, the Reds are expected to win. Arsenal often struggle on big nights with the pressure of opposing fans, which Anfield is famous for.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tip
- Pick: Hugo Ekitike to score
- Odds: +204 (Tonybet)
Last year, Mohamed Salah had a great season, but his impact was somewhat limited due to his teammates’ struggles. Some were dealing with injuries, while Darwin never unlocked his goal-scoring potential.
This might change with Ekitiké, whose physique and technique will be key in the match and, more importantly, throughout the season. He’s more dynamic than his predecessor, while also more adept at keeping his composure in tense situations.
With Arsenal wary of Salah’s influence down the flanks, marking both players will be challenging, leaving openings that the Frenchman can exploit.
