Probably, the most important game of December between the sides that occupy second and first position respectively. Liverpool are one point behind the Gunners. They haven’t lost in the last 10 Premier League games (6 wins and 4 draws). They have also advanced to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League. In the previous game the Reds beat West Ham (5:1) in the EFL Cup.
Arsenal could have had even a better lead in the standings. However, they have lost twice in the last 7 Premier League games: against Newcastle United and Aston Villa (0:1 in both cases). The Gunners have also advanced to the Champions League play-offs from the first place in the group.
The last game between these two teams ended in a 2:2 draw. Arsenal beat the Reds in October 2022 in London (3:2). However, Liverpool won 4 out of the previous 5 head-to-head games in various tournaments. Another one ended in a goalless draw.
Liverpool seems to be the favourite of the game. You can bet on the Reds to win at around 5/7. You can bet on the Gunners to win at around 39/20. The odds for a draw are at around 13/5.
Liverpool have won 6 out of the last 7 head-to-head Premier League home games.
At least 4 goals have been scored in the last 10 head-to-head Premier League games in Liverpool.
Both teams have been on fire recently. It’s vital for them to win this game. Arsenal are only one point ahead of their closest opponents. Liverpool are leveled on points with Aston Villa and one point behind Arsenal. I don't believe that the sides will be too careful, despite this disturbing situation for them. The attacking lines seem to be more important in both teams.
I guess that we can see quite many goals. However, the main point is that I’m pretty sure that both teams will be able to score.
Everton: -8 Points
Nottingham Forest: -4 Points
