Liverpool vs ArsenalSee All Odds
Liverpool welcome Arsenal to Anfield on Sunday afternoon in a blockbuster Premier League encounter, with both sides firmly in the title picture. Andoni Iraola's men arrive in excellent form, having won five consecutive matches in all competitions, while Mikel Arteta's side will be looking to bounce back from a shock midweek cup exit. Arsenal have struggled to win at Anfield in recent years, with their last Premier League victory there coming in 2012, setting the stage for a fascinating clash between two sides boasting plenty of attacking quality.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips
- Declan Rice to commit 1+ foul
- Florian Wirtz to have 2+ shots
- Martin Odegaard to have 2+ shots
- Ezri Konsa to commit 1+ foul
Odds: 10/1 with bet365
Declan Rice 1+ foul at 5/6
Rice trained this week after a hamstring concern and is expected to start alongside Bruno Guimaraes in midfield. In the Liverpool game he is likely to be tasked with tracking Wirtz between the lines.
He has committed at least one foul in four of his six Premier League outings this season, against Chelsea, Brighton, Leeds and Nottingham Forest.
Rice averages 0.75 fouls per 90 minutes this term. A midfield battle with Wirtz, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch at a raucous Anfield is the sort of game where he will need to break up play.
Florian Wirtz 2+ shots at 8/11
Wirtz shook off an ankle knock to play in the midweek EFL Cup win over Chelsea.
The German has registered two or more shots in six of his eight Premier League starts this season, averaging exactly two efforts per league start. That includes two shots in the 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City, a game in which Liverpool had just 35% of the ball, which suggests he can still get his shots away when the hosts are without possession.
Across all competitions he has hit this line in seven of his last ten starts. That includes a six-shot display against LASK Linz and a four-shot cameo off the bench against Villarreal.
Martin Odegaard 2+ shots at 11/10
With Bukayo Saka out injured and Max Dowman suspended, more of Arsenal’s creative burden falls on Odegaard. The skipper is coming off his best attacking display of the campaign, firing five shots in the 2-0 win over Everton last weekend.
Odegaard has had two or more shots in five of his nine starts this season, averaging 1.78 per start. He also hit the line against Chelsea and Leeds in the league. Arsenal are averaging 58% possession across their last 20 matches, so the captain should see plenty of the ball in the final third.
Ezri Konsa 1+ foul at 4/5
Konsa has slotted into the right side of Arsenal’s back four in William Saliba’s absence. He is set to face the pace and directness of Cody Gakpo, who will be supported by Milos Kerkez overlapping from left-back.
The centre-back has committed a foul in four of his six Premier League starts for the Gunners, including two each against Sunderland and Leeds. He averages 0.93 fouls per 90 minutes across all competitions, which is high for a centre-half. Andy Madley is the referee.
Liverpool vs Arsenal Betting Tip
Liverpool vs Arsenal tip: Draw at 5/2
Arsenal remain the meanest defence in the division, while Liverpool should find a way through once.
The history backs a stalemate. Liverpool are unbeaten in 13 top-flight home games against Arsenal since 2012, but Arsenal have lost only one of their last eight league meetings with the Reds. Three of the last five meetings between the sides have ended level, including 0-0 at the Emirates in January.
Iraola is also a draw specialist. He has lost just twice in 27 Premier League games in 2026, but 13 of those have finished all square.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Score Prediction
Score prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal at 13/2
Liverpool's recent momentum and home advantage should make them difficult to beat, but Arsenal remain an exceptionally strong defensive side and have enough quality to hurt the hosts. I can see Liverpool finding the net, but Arteta's side doing enough to take a point from Anfield.
