Football Predictions
Liverpool host Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday in what has been a contrasting change between the two side over the past year.
While this is a tie that hasn’t given Liverpool problems before, they arrive in this tie as one of the most out-of-form teams in the Premier and this is made worse by the fact that their opponents in Arsenal are on top of the league and have been gliding past teams with ease.
While they have been struggling this season, Liverpool have depended on their home crowd to push them as they aim for a top four finish. Only Arsenal, Man United and Manchester City have performed better at home this season than Klopp’s side, who have taken 16 points from the last 18 on offer at home, keeping clean sheets in each of their last four.
Already guaranteed to finish with their best points total since the 2016-17 campaign, Arsenal retained their eight-point lead over Man City but they have played a game more than the Champions. Should they drop points at Anfield, City might narrow that gap to two points by the time they meet later this month.
H2H / Stats
Liverpool are unbeaten in nine Premier League home games against Arsenal winning each of their last six by a 22-4 aggregate scoreline. While Liverpool has the history in this kind of fixture, Arsenal are coming to the tie depending on their current form.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
Liverpool wins: 94
Draws: 62
Arsenal wins: 82
Team news
Klopp has confirmed Virgil van Dijk could return for Liverpool after missing out in the draw with Chelsea. Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson were all rested, so are now in line to return.
For Arsenal, William Saliba is a big doubt. Bukayo Saka and Ben White, however, are thought to be over their injury concerns.
Probable line ups:
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Konate, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Elliott; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
Arsenal XI: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
Verdict
History and Form meet up at Anfield with the hosts looking to close the gap between them and fourth placed Manchester United as Arsenal will be all out to wrap up their title.
In as much as the Redds have an edge in this tie, Arsenal has been scoring at will and with their form, they are going to give a challenge.
We are backing an Over 2.5 score in the duel.

Gabriel Jesus
Fit and raring to go against for the Gunners, Jesus ended a 14-game goal drought stretching back to October 1 after grabbing a brace either side of strikes from Ben White and Granit Xhaka in the club’s last outing.
Leandro Trossard
Another man looking to make his mark is Leandro Trossard, who already has a hat-trick for Brighton at Anfield this season. No player has ever scored two hat-tricks for visiting sides at the stadium in one season, but two – including ex-Spurs striker Robbie Keane – have done so for Liverpool and an opponent over the course of one campaign.
Mohamed Salah
Salah, meanwhile, has eight goals and four assists in 12 league appearances against Arsenal, including one in his first league meeting with the Gunners during his Chelsea days.
Prediction – Over 2.5
