Here’s the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, which marks the first of the season between the top two contenders for the EPL title. Now, although it’s early, we are pretty certain that the outcome of this one will have a significant impact on the momentum and morale of these two units.
Both sides boast incredible attacking options and are the Premier League’s most dangerous offensive teams. Liverpool has the likes of Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo, and Wirtz, while Arsenal has Gyokeres, Saka, Madueke, and the newly added Eze.
The Reds aren’t playing as expected, yet they are winning. On the other hand, the Gunners got Gyokeres, and they seem solid, but a loss here would increase the pressure on Arteta who is already on a hot seat.

Liverpool vs. Arsenal Preview
Liverpool
Liverpool managed to scrape past Newcastle, thanks to a late goal from teenage sensation Ngumoha in the 100th minute. It wasn’t their most convincing performance, with both the defense and Wirtz not performing at their best. The latter is still adjusting to the environment, and he’s also a bit displaced compared to Leverkusen, where he played behind the attackers.

Salah also didn’t seem to be firing on all cylinders, despite his crucial assist at the end. Yet, the Egyptian was active in both directions.
One thing that has remained consistent for Liverpool, however, is their attacking prowess. Their last 8 matches (including preseason) have all seen both teams score and at least 4 goals. They’ve netted 7 and conceded 4 in the opening two Premier League games, showing their tendency for high-scoring matches.
Arsenal
Arsenal come into this match in good form, following a hard-fought 1-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. They then put on an impressive display at home, thrashing Leeds 5-0.
The standout performers in this game were Viktor Gyokeres, who bagged a brace alongside Jurien Timber, who also grabbed a goal and an assist. The Dutch back was unstoppable, and he should be the one who pushes the team from the back line and pressures the rivals this year. His stint at Emirates didn’t start well, as he suffered a harsh injury, but now, Timber looks fantastic.
With the addition of Eze, Arsenal’s attack is even more potent. The pace and creativity he offers will make Arsenal even stronger, especially on the counter. Eze is best in such situations, and having Saka and Gyokeres besides him will make him more lethal.
Liverpool vs. Arsenal Head-to-Head
Last season, both encounters ended in a 2-2 draw. In fact, each of the previous four meetings between these two sides has seen over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
That trend is likely to continue given the attacking talent on both sides. But more on that in the following paragraph.
Liverpool vs. Arsenal Prediction
Given the attacking firepower and the tradition of high-scoring games in recent meetings, a bet on Over 2.5 goals appears to be the best option. Both teams are likely to score, and given their playing style, we can expect plenty of chances. Yes, we are aware that Arteta tends to close down and slow the pace in matches like this; however, against Liverpool, that won’t be possible, and we’ve seen that in the past when these two clubs have met.
Pick: Over 2.5 goals
