Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction, odds and preview

It will be a top-of-the-table affair when Liverpool face Arsenal in the Premier League over the weekend.

The hosts were held by long-term rivals Manchester United last weekend in a 0-0 draw before their 5-1 thrashing of West Ham United in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Arsenal however approach this game as league leaders, one point clear of Liverpool on the standings and will seek to avoid defeat on Saturday night to keep their title hopes on track.

Liverpool are favourites over the leaders for this clash, losing only once in their last five games against the Gunners.

The hosts lacked conviction in attack against Manchester United and will hope to replicate their form in midweek against West Ham, knowing a victory would make them table toppers ahead of Christmas.

Mikel Arteta’s men secured a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion last Saturday and will need to be at their best level if they want to grab all three points off Jurgen Klopp’s team.

The big miss for Liverpool could be Ryan Gravenberch who suffered a hamstring injury against Man United last weekend while Kai Havertz is likely to feature from the start for the Gunners on Saturday night.

The match comes off at 5:30 pm.
