Arsenal vs Liverpool. Shape of the Teams

Arsenal’s resurgence in the Premier League title race, following a series of setbacks, has reinvigorated their season ambitions. 

Arsenal currently sit third in the league with 46 points and the Gunners find themselves five points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. Recent victories, including a hard-fought 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest away and a resounding 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace, have showcased Arsenal’s capability to overcome adversity and maintain their pursuit of the title. 

Arsenal still have problems with the realisation of chances, about which we have already written many times. 

However, Gabriel Jesus’s goal against Nottingham Forest could be the catalyst he needs to regain his scoring touch. In a match characterized by its toughness and Jesus’s own series of unusual misses, finding the back of the net in such a challenging scenario might just be the confidence booster the Brazilian forward requires.

Arsenal’s success this season still depends on how well the team can realise their goal scoring chances.  And against Liverpool, that too will largely determine the result of the match.

On the other side, Liverpool, under Jürgen Klopp, is navigating what has been announced as the German manager’s final season with the club. The prospect of clinching the Premier League title is seen as a fitting culmination to Klopp’s transformative tenure at Liverpool. 

In the last round, Liverpool secured an emphatic 4-1 victory over Chelsea and are approaching this match in a good mood.

Diogo Jota’s emergence as Liverpool’s key attacking figure in Mohamed Salah’s absence has been a revelation. His effectiveness in counter-pressing and his ability to deliver incisive passes into the penalty area have highlighted his importance to the team’s attacking dynamics. Jota’s chemistry with his teammates and his proficiency in capitalizing on scoring opportunities have compensated for Salah’s absence.

Ensuring Jota remains injury-free until Salah’s return is crucial for Liverpool’s offensive potency.

Another player who has shown top class in recent matches is Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentine has been very successful in making progressive passes into the other half and has often recovered the ball from the opponents (he had 8 successful tackles in the match against Chelsea). 

His participation in the match against Arsenal is still in doubt, which could be a big problem for Liverpool.

Historically, encounters between Arsenal and Liverpool have been fiercely contested, though recent fixtures have tilted in favour of Liverpool. 

With six wins out of their last ten matches against Arsenal, Liverpool has demonstrated a tactical edge and a psychological advantage in this rivalry. Moreover, the trend of at least one team failing to score in most of these encounters highlights the tactical battles and defensive strategies employed by both sides.

Arsenal vs Liverpool Main Match Info

Arsenal vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds

The general statistics are quite evident regarding the expected number of corners in the first half of the upcoming match, which should not exceed 5. In head-to-head matches, neither team has achieved more than 5.5 corners in the first half.

This pattern is further reinforced by Arsenal’s recent performances, where the Gunners have not exceeded the 5.5 corner mark in the first half across their last ten games. 

Given the high stakes of this match, both Arsenal and Liverpool are likely to prioritize defensive solidity over attacking exuberance in the initial phases. This is relevant for a game where the fate of the future Premier League champion can be determined.  

The reluctance to concede early and allow the opponent to capitalize on set-piece situations will likely result in a game that is tightly contested in midfield, with fewer chances being created that could lead to corners.

The expectation is that both teams’ true intensity and tactical gambits will come to the fore in the second half once the managers have had the opportunity to assess the game’s flow and make necessary adjustments.

Therefore, I think the total number of corners will be less than 5.5 in the 1st half.

Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Tip

Arsenal’s formidable record at the Emirates, with just a single defeat in their last ten encounters, underscores their strength on home soil. 

The two-week break in January came at a crucial time for the Gunners, allowing them to regroup and address the issues that led to three defeats in four matches. In this match against Liverpool, we will see a more balanced and organized team aiming to seek revenge after their 0-2 loss against Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, on the other hand, brings its own set of motivations and strengths into this pivotal clash. The German manager guided the Reds to the Premier League title in 2020, and they will be even more motivated to do the same this season. 

The emergence of Conor Bradley as a significant talent, particularly highlighted by his exceptional performance against Chelsea, adds a new dimension to Liverpool’s already potent attacking arsenal.

The upcoming clash between the season’s two best pressing teams presents a fascinating tactical battle. It will be intriguing to see which side can outperform the other in this high-intensity aspect of the game and more effectively disrupt the opponent’s pressing strategies.

While Arsenal aims to leverage their home form and the desire for revenge as catalysts for a strong performance, Liverpool’s consistency, especially on the road with six consecutive away matches without a loss, positions them slightly ahead in terms of stability and momentum.
