A Festive Top-of-the-Table Clash at Anfield In a highly anticipated Saturday night fixture, Liverpool host league leaders Arsenal at Anfield in a match that promises to be a festive treat.
Arsenal, currently at the top of the Premier League, hold a narrow lead with Liverpool and Aston Villa closely trailing. Not to mention, reigning European Champions Manchester City are still in the mix.
The stage is set for a thrilling encounter.
Liverpool experienced a frustrating goalless draw against Manchester United last week despite dominating. However, they bounced back with a 5-1 thrashing of West Ham in the League Cup midweek.
Their Premier League form has been impressive, with their only defeat coming at Spurs in a match where they finished with nine men and narrowly lost to a late goal.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have strengthened significantly this season, highlighted by the acquisition of Declan Rice. But their two league losses, away at Newcastle and Aston Villa, suggest that they need to pick up points in such challenging matches if they aim to clinch the title.
Liverpool are the bookies’ favourites at 6/4, while Arsenal have odds of 15/8.
