Arsenal versus Liverpool Preview, Forecasts, and Top Wagers Explored

Get ready for an electrifying showdown! Arsenal squares off against Liverpool in the English Premier League this Sunday. The Gunners have a decent record against the Reds, with two wins and two draws from their last four meetings in the league. Unfortunately, Mikel Arteta's side will be without key defender William Saliba for this match.

Arsenal: Dynamo on the Decline?

Arsenal's undefeated streak of ten games came to an end last weekend. But prior to that loss, they racked up some impressive wins and draws, including a 2-0 victory at Aston Villa, a 1-0 win at Tottenham, and a 4-2 victory over Leicester. In the Champions League, they held Atalanta to a 0-0 draw and miraculously secured a 2-2 draw at Manchester City despite being down to ten men for most of the match.

However, their performance against Southampton and Bournemouth left much to be desired, losing 2-0 to the Saints and playing an hour with ten men against Bournemouth, generating just 0.68 xG. In their midweek game against Shakhtar, they managed to come out on top with a 1-0 win, but they allowed seven shots in the final 19 minutes of the game.

Team News: It's a Saliba-free Sunday

Arteta will be without the suspended William Saliba for this encounter. He hopes to have Jurrien Timber or Takehiro Tomiyasu available to play at right-back, with Ben White moving centrally. Captain and key midfielder Martin Ødegaard remains unavailable, while Bukayo Saka might return after sitting out the last two matches.

Arsenal: The Pursuit of Glory

This match is a crucial one for Arsenal, as they aim to close the gap to Liverpool to just a single point in the title race. Expect them to play defensively and dig deep to pull off a victory at home.

Liverpool: The Unstoppable Force?

Liverpool have won 11 out of 12 matches this season across three competitions. They've tasted defeat only once, against Nottingham Forest at home. They've won seven consecutive games since then, including three victories in the Champions League. They've registered impressive performances against Bologna, Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and RB Leipzig.

Team News: Change is in the Air

Arne Slot is expected to recall Andy Robertson at left-back, while Curtis Jones could get the nod in midfield. Alisson Becker remains injured, with Caoimhin Kelleher set to start again. Harvey Elliott is sidelined due to ankle surgery, while Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, and Conor Bradley are doubts and will undergo late fitness tests.

Liverpool: A Narrow Win

Liverpool have a slight advantage here, but they cannot afford to slip up. A draw would be an acceptable result, although it would open the door for Manchester City. Slot's team is tactically adaptable, and they could pull off a pragmatic performance against the Gunners.
