Before Betting On Liverpool vs Arsenal
A heavyweight battle in the Premier League is set for this weekend, as the match to determine the Christmas number one is staged at Anfield with Arsenal the visitors to Liverpool. The Reds will be looking to put an underwhelming performance against Man United behind them, as their long scoring run at home was ended by the Red Devils last Sunday.
Arsenal currently lead the way in the EPL standings after winning 12 of their opening 17 matches. The Gunners were in excellent form last weekend, recording a comfortable 2-0 home success against Brighton. That was the perfect response from Mikel Arteta’s side following a defeat on the road against Aston Villa.
However, this will be a huge challenge for the Gunners, as they are winless in their last ten trips to Anfield. Liverpool have won seven of the matches over that period, with three ending in draws. Meanwhile, Arsenal haven’t managed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 matches against the Reds, and have conceded a huge total of 43 goals over that period.
It will be a 100th meeting between Arsenal and Liverpool at Anfield this weekend. Liverpool have only registered more wins against Newcastle and Aston Villa than they have against the Gunners. However, only Man United have picked up more away wins at Anfield than Arsenal.
