Premier League: Liverpool vs Arsenal - Betting Tips, Odds & Prediction

It’s the champions vs the runner-ups at Anfield this Monday morning as Liverpool are set to welcome Arsenal.These two sides have produced plenty of Premier League classics over the years, and with both chasing the title, fans are expecting another epic showdown. 

Punters are also looking forward to this blockbuster clash and the best betting sites have rolled out odds across plenty of markets for this juicy fixture. 

Join us as we preview the game and analyse the best Liverpool vs Arsenal betting picks.

Liverpool

Liverpool have not looked like the most defensively settled team in the league in their first two games. The Reds appeared quite shaky at the back and it nearly cost them on both occasions. Bournemouth restored parity in Anfield, before Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah scored late to snatch away the three points. 

Arne Slot’s men threw away a two-goal cushion once again when they traveled to St.James Park. A 10-men Newcastle came from behind to level the scores, but a historic goal from 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha handed them another win.

Team News: Conor Bradley did not appear to be 100% fit against Newcastle, so Slot might try Curtis Jones at right-back.

Predicted Lineup: Alisson; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike.

Arsenal

Arsenal were unable to produce a stellar show against Manchester United in their first game, but they did what mattered the most. Just like many football betting tips specialists had predicted, the Gunners returned from Old Trafford with a 1-0 win. 

There were concerns about the team’s chemistry, but all those fears were put to rest in Arsenal’s first home game of the season. New striker Viktor Gyokeres fired a brace as Mikel Arteta’s men demolished Leeds 5-0 at the Emirates.

Team News: Arteta might hand Eberechi Eze his first start since Bukayo Saka is out injured.

Predicted Lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Nwaneri, Zubimendi, Rice; Eze, Gyokeres, Martinelli.

• Liverpool have not won in six matches against Arsenal. 
• The last three Liverpool vs Arsenal matches at Anfield ended in draws. 
• Liverpool vs Arsenal has seen 198 goals in Premier League history. Only Liverpool vs Spurs (206) has produced more goals.

Mikel Arteta has made his team virtually invincible against their biggest oppositions in recent years. Arsenal have not lost to a ‘Big 6’ team since 2022. Even though betting apps are favouring a Liverpool win, we don’t think Arsenal’s unbeaten streak against fellow Premier League powerhouses is coming to an end. 

Liverpool’s rearguard vulnerabilities could be lethal against Arsenal. The Gunners have splashed big money to bolster their attack this summer. Signings of Gyokeres and Eze have given the team incredible depth. Since Saka is injured, Arsenal will be without their biggest attacking threat, but now they have the means to cope with his absence. 

Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike has hit the ground running, but big money signing Florian Wirtz is yet to impress. Mohamed Salah continues to prove that he is Premier League’s most elite forward. But, Liverpool still have a significant challenge ahead of them. 

The Arsenal backline has looked incredible in the first two games, and they have already proved that they have the capacity to tame the most dangerous frontlines in the world. 

We believe Liverpool’s defensive problems will tip the balance of tie towards Arsenal, so we recommend backing an Arsenal win.

Gabriel Martinelli to Score First @ $12.00

Gabriel Martinelli has enjoyed playing against Liverpool in the past. The Brazilian has scored in two of his last three visits to Anfield, and he could get an even better chance to score on Monday. Frimpong is out injured and Bradley seems unfit, so Liverpool have a right-back problem, and Martinelli is well positioned to exploit it. We expect him to score first and pay out his backers a sweet 12x return on 20Bet.
