This weekend’s Premier League highlight will be at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal will host Liverpool on Sunday. Currently, the two teams are close in the standings, with just two positions and five points between them, and Manchester City sitting in between, set to play Brentford on Monday night.
Arsenal had a rocky start to the year with back-to-back losses to Fulham and West Ham but have since found their form again, securing victories against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Yet, this weekend’s clash against Liverpool, the league leaders, will be a significant test for Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Liverpool, on their part, extended their lead at the top to five points after a commanding 4-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night. Having beaten Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates in the FA Cup last month, Jurgen Klopp’s team will be looking to replicate that performance this weekend in North London.
Arsenal, despite struggling against Liverpool in their last two encounters this season, are the 6/5 favourites with Bet 365. The previous league meeting ended in a draw, and another stalemate is priced at 13/5 with Bet 365, while a victory for Liverpool is available at 21/10.
Alexis Mac Allister and Declan Rice each committing a foul, quoted at appealing odds of 10/11. Liverpool’s Mac Allister, known for his aggressive play, has accumulated five yellow and one red card in 17 league appearances, averaging 1.6 fouls per game. He’s been penalised in 14 of those 17 games. Declan Rice is also a strong contender to fall foul of the officials. The England midfielder averages just under one foul per game this season and has been noted in his last two appearances against Liverpool.
