Liverpool vs Arsenal Best odds and tips

Liverpool are top of the pile in the Premier League 2024/2025 with 82 points from 35 games, 15 more than second-placed Arsenal who have 67 points from the same 35 games. The gap is significant and the stakes are high in this top-of-the-table clash, so neither side will want to drop points. Arne Slot has been in charge of Liverpool since July 2024 and he has quickly imbued his side with his trademark Dutch ball control mixed with the classic Premier League press. The Reds are much more controlled in possession but just as lethal when they press, especially in the big games. Liverpool have won three and lost two of their last five games, hammering Tottenham 5-1 in the most recent but falling to a 3-1 defeat away to Chelsea last time out. At Anfield, however, they have been ruthless, taking two wins from their last two games.

Mikel Arteta’s philosophy of Spanish-style positional play and disciplined buildup has made Arsenal a very tough team to beat since he took over in late 2019. The Gunners have been rocked by back-to-back home defeats to PSG (0-1) and Bournemouth (1-2), but they steadied the ship with a solid 0-0 away draw against PSG. Arsenal’s recent form reads 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses from their last five in all competitions, but they are unbeaten in two on the road, taking 1 win and 1 draw from their last two away games. Arsenal’s away record in the Premier League 2024/2025 reads 8 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses from 17 games, which is impressive.

The last time these sides met in the league was a 2-2 draw at the Emirates, a result that typifies the tightness of this fixture. Arsenal have failed to win on their last 3 visits to Anfield and the head-to-head record reads 2 wins for Liverpool, 1 for Arsenal and 3 draws in their last 6 Premier League meetings. The contrast in styles should make for an intriguing game with Liverpool the more direct of the two sides and Arsenal favouring a more intricate build-up. The clash in the middle of the park could be intense with plenty of transitions at pace.
