Arsenal vs Liverpool Moneyline Prediction

Arsenal defeated Bournemouth despite conceding two goals (3-2), with Declan Rice’s brilliance proving decisive as he registered his first brace. The Gunners have scored 11 goals across their last five matches and lead the Premier League in clean sheets this season (nine).

By contrast, Liverpool have conceded draws against Leeds and Fulham, fuelling speculation that Arne Slot may be fired soon. 

Arsenal vs Liverpool Player Prop

Bukayo Saka ranks third in the Premier League for big chances created (nine) but has only registered four goals this season. His latest came against Brentford in early December, and this matchup with Liverpool could present another opportunity to add to that tally.

Teammate Viktor Gyökeres has gone without a goal in nine games, meaning that either Gabriel Martinelli or Bukayo Saka will be expected to step up in front of the net. With Liverpool struggling to defend on the wings, Saka should have the one-on-one advantage to make the difference from the right flank.

Arsenal have kept nine clean sheets this season and could be on course to register their 10th against Liverpool. While the Reds struggled to defend (or attack, for that matter), the Gunners demonstrated against Bournemouth that they can also navigate games against attacking formations.

Saka is expected to be key in finding the break from the right flank, as Liverpool’s full-backs have struggled to dominate the wide zones.

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 3-2 after a difficult first half in which individual mistakes allowed Evanilson to open the scoring in the 10th minute. However, Gabriel made up for his error by equalising with a powerful strike only six minutes later.

In the second half, Declan Rice was key as Arsenal improved, since Bournemouth couldn’t keep up the tempo from the first half. The Gunners didn’t struggle to create chances but remained inconclusive, as Viktor Gyökeres’s goal drought continued. 

Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 4-1 the week prior, with four different players finding the net. The Gunners now lead the Premier League with a six-point advantage over Manchester City, who dropped points against Chelsea in a 1-1 draw

Max Dowman, Riccardo Calafiori, and Cristhian Mosquera will be sidelined due to injuries.

Liverpool Team News

Arne Slot’s job appears under pressure following this weekend’s 2-2 draw with Fulham, in which the team conceded an equaliser in the 97th minute. 

Liverpool fell behind in the 17th minute, as defenders lost track of Harry Wilson, who put the ball in the bottom corner. For the remainder of the game, the Reds created multiple chances but failed to find the final strike. 

Arne Slot has been forced to reshuffle his attacking quartet following Hugo Ekitiké’s injury, which leaves the Dutch coach without a natural striker. Instead, Cody Gakpo played in front of Florian Wirtz, who scored the equaliser in the 57th minute.

Liverpool were already held to a goalless draw against Leeds a week prior, despite generating 2 xG. Ekitiké fired several shots, which came close to opening the scoring but ultimately failed to find the back of the net. 

As is often the case, the Reds almost conceded a goal in the late minutes, when Arne Slot usually subs in as many attackers as he can. 

Hugo Ekitiké, Alexander Isak, Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajčetić, and Giovanni Leoni are sidelined with injuries. Mohamed Salah remains unavailable, as he’s been called by Egypt for AFCON.
