Gunners may just have the edge in Anfield clash
Match context
Liverpool will face a tough challenge in the shape of Arsenal on Sunday, when two of England's most storied soccer teams clash at Anfield. The Gunners arrive in Liverpool in second place in the Premier League 2026-2027 with 21 points from eight games compared to Liverpool's 15 from the same number of fixtures.
The Reds have a good recent record against the Gunners but they will have to pull out all stops to see off Arsenal this Sunday.
Tactical battle
Andoni Iraola's men are flying at the moment with a high-pressure, high-tempo game that looks to create chances on the break. In their latest three games, Liverpool won 4-3 at home to Villarreal CF in the UEFA Champions League before following up with a 2-0 success at home to Brighton in the Premier League.
There's real momentum in their wide areas at the moment, which should provide their forwards with plenty of chances to get on the ball and in space. Arsenal are a little more controlled and less risk-taking than their hosts, which should make for a fascinating contrast in styles and a fascinating match. Mikel Arteta's side are a team that are highly structured, both in their build-up and transition, which should ensure they remain compact and hard to crack.
Lots of goals expected at Anfield
The last meeting between these two sides, in the Premier League 2025/2026, finished 0-0 at Arsenal's home, and there is every chance the pair play out another cagey match at Anfield on Sunday.
- Both Teams to Score is on the 'Yes' side of the line at 1.6, while there's an opportunity to make a small profit on the Over 2.5 Goals bet at 1.7, but the odds favor Arsenal just a touch and the visitors should have the quality to clinch a win.
- The visitors have failed to win any of their last three away games against the Reds, so there is a slight negative in the wagering but that is reflected in the odds.
- Arsenal have taken one win and one draw from their two away trips in the Premier League 2026/2027, while Liverpool's home record in the new league campaign is one win, two draws and one defeat.
Saka’s strike rate could edge it for the away side
Arsenal's recent three-game unbeaten run includes a 1-0 away win at Nottingham Forest, a 2-2 away draw with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League and a 2-0 home win over Everton. The 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest and the 2-2 with Bayern make it unlikely that Arteta's men will be too tired to compete.
Liverpool are a tough team on home turf and have won two of their last three home matches, but Arsenal should have enough to nick this one. Liverpool's best attacking option right now is Alexander Isak, who has four Premier League goals in five appearances, but Arsenal have Bukayo Saka to call on and he's been the most reliable man in the team this term with three Premier League goals in five matches.
