Arsenal VS Liverpool

Historically, no club has defeated Arsenal more often in the Premier League than Liverpool, who have recorded 26 victories against the Gunners. Yet, a close reading of the current campaign suggests that an extension of this trend is far from assured. Indeed, the bookmakers’ assessment reflects this shift in balance, with Arsenal installed as clear favourites for the encounter at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal arrive as the league leaders, setting the pace in the title race. Their most credible challenger appears to be Manchester City, who were held to a 1–1 draw by Brighton, further strengthening the Gunners’ position at the summit. By contrast, Liverpool travel to North London under less favourable circumstances. Mohamed Salah’s absence due to the Africa Cup of Nations, coupled with uncertainty surrounding Ekitike’s availability, significantly weakens the visitors’ attacking options.
