- Arsenal are unbeaten in five games across all current competitions (W4, D1).
- Arsenal have won one and drawn one of their last two away games.
- Liverpool are on a four-game winning run, having won four of their five games across all competitions.
All-square at Anfield
Arsenal enter Sunday's Premier League 2026-2027 matchday nine fixture with Liverpool at Anfield in second spot in the table with 21 points from eight games, six points clear of Liverpool in fourth after eight games.
Arsenal arrive in better form after 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 victory over Everton. They look more likely to win this one, as Arsenal have failed to win any of their last three away games against Liverpool.
But Arteta's men shouldn't be overconfident as their hosts come into this one on the back of a 4-3 home win over Villarreal CF and a 2-0 success over Brighton.
Anfield atmosphere should keep things lively
While Liverpool have won one, drawn two and lost one of their four home games in the Premier League 2026/2027, they are beginning to find their rhythm at Anfield with two wins, no draws and one defeat in the last three.
Alexander Isak is the main reason for Liverpool's recent surge in form, the Swedish forward has four Premier League goals in five and looks the sharp end of Andoni Iraola's attack.
Bukayo Saka has been Arsenal's best bet with three Premier League goals in five and he can give the Gunners a reliable edge in the final third.
Gunners have a slight edge
Mikel Arteta's team are a well-disciplined group that can be hard to get at. While Liverpool's high press style looks better suited to Anfield, this will be a test for them against a side who are as comfortable playing under pressure as any side in the league.
That style contrast should keep the game tight with Liverpool looking to press Arsenal into errors and the Gunners hoping to play through the pressure.
It is very difficult to separate these teams for this clash and that's reflected in the odds, where Arsenal are a shade of favourites at 2.16. Liverpool are 3.0 to take the three points while the draw is at 3.6.
We're taking the slight edge Arsenal have in the betting as the main selection for this game because of their unbeaten run and the fact they have been solid travellers in the league this term with three wins and one defeat on the road, averaging 1.00 goals per game scored and 0.75 per game conceded.
Both teams can find the net
Both teams to score looks a good bet here at the current odds of around 1.6 with over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looking likely given how open the fixture can be, especially in the Anfield atmosphere.
The 0-0 draw at the Emirates in the 2025/2026 campaign shows how cagey this fixture can be, but we are going for a 2-1 Arsenal victory in the correct score market because Liverpool have been getting goals from wide areas recently and the visitors are great at keeping things compact.
