Liverpool vs Arsenal Game Preview

Anfield hosts the Premier League's marquee matchup on Sunday, as Liverpool welcome a banged-up Arsenal side that still carries the favorite tag into one of the league's fiercest rivalries.

Andoni Iraola's Liverpool are building momentum, having finally secured a first Anfield win of the season against Brighton. Another Premier League victory would pull them within three points of Arsenal.

Arsenal, the defending champions, have dropped just three points all season in the Premier League. A Carabao Cup shootout exit to League Two side Fleetwood was a jolt, not a derailment.

History leans red, though. Liverpool have gone unbeaten 26 times in the last 29 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions, a stubborn record the visitors must crack on Sunday.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Recent Results

Liverpool arrive on a Premier League winning run and with fresh Carabao Cup momentum after edging Chelsea on penalties at Anfield. They have won 7 times out of their last 10 outings against all opponents. Alexander Isak is the man to watch, having scored in each of his last 3 Premier League appearances.

Arsenal have been ruthless in the league, winning 12 of their previous 13 Premier League games. The cup was another story, with Fleetwood sending them home on penalties. Kai Havertz leads the line and has put at least one shot on target 6 times across his last 8 Premier League outings.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Liverpool vs Arsenal prediction is an Arsenal win in an open game with goals at both ends. The visitors hold the edge in the win probabilities and the better standing in the league, and their counterattacking threat suits a Liverpool side that likes to control the game in the opposition half. The 2-2 projected score is a fair warning about Isak and this Liverpool attack, but Arsenal's finishing makes them the side we trust to land the decisive blow.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projection sits at about 3.1 goals at Anfield. The first of our Liverpool vs Arsenal best picks lives in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both teams have scored in 6 of the last 8 meetings between these clubs in the Premier League, and with William Saliba out, this Arsenal back line is not built for a scoreless afternoon. The implied probability on the over also sits below where the projection lands, which is exactly where we want to be.

Arsenal to win in the Moneyline market. The numbers make them narrow favorites at Anfield. This is a Moneyline play on the better team in the standings. Arsenal carry a 42.55% win probability in the projections, the highest of the three outcomes, and the two sides are priced close enough that the visitors offer real value rather than a short price. Liverpool's price has shortened since the open while Arsenal's has drifted, which only sweetens the number on the visitors.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Same Game Parlay

Our Liverpool vs Arsenal same game parlay picks stack four legs: Alexander Isak shots, Arsenal on the Moneyline, Arsenal team goals and Arsenal team cards.

Alexander Isak Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market leads off. Over his last 7 Premier League outings, he has attempted 2+ shots every time, and a patched-up Arsenal defense offers no reason to stop.

Over 1.5 in the Total Away Goals market backs that view. Arsenal's total away goals have cleared that line 4 times across their last 6 outings, and counterattacks are a genuine strength.

Over 1.5 in the Total Away Team Cards market rounds it off. Arsenal have picked up 2+ cards every time across their last 7 Premier League meetings with Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Arsenal Talking Points

The dugout subplot writes itself, with Andoni Iraola and Mikel Arteta having grown up together at youth club Antiguoko in San Sebastián, Spain. Arteta has said his team must manage Liverpool's transitions and high-intensity periods at Anfield with clarity of purpose, and that is the whole battle in a nutshell. Arsenal's best weapon is attacking down the wings, so with Bukayo Saka sidelined, Eberechi Eze and Martin Ødegaard have to carry more of the creative load. Liverpool, meanwhile, rank coming back from losing positions among their standout strengths, so an early Arsenal goal settles nothing. The Liverpool vs Arsenal betting odds still lean toward the visitors, with Liverpool sitting at +200 (Polymarket).
