Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview
While defensive absentees have been the main story in the Reds’ struggling season, they have also completely lost their cutting edge in front of goal of late.
Having scored just nine goals in their last 10 matches prior to the international break, it is hard to see them having much joy at a ground where the hosts have conceded fewer home goals than all but three teams in the league.
What’s more, Mikel Arteta has proven adept at shutting down the opposition in high profile matches, with his side conceding just eight goals in nine league matches against Manchester City, Manchester United, Leicester, Chelsea and Tottenham so far this campaign.
Arsenal vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions
All in all, odds of 11/10 (2.10) look well worth considering on under 2.5 goals being scored for Liverpool’s eighth game in a row, as well as a third meeting in four with Arsenal.
